'Hail to our Brotherhood ! 
Bright is our Brotherhood ! 

Noble its aim ! 
Byes beaming earnestly, 
Hearts linked in unity, 
And immortality 

Guarding its name !" 



PREFATORY NOTE 



"Friends in fair and stormy weather, 

Friends no ill can part, 
Linked in love we grow together, 

Ever friends at heart. 



"And the chain that stretches longer, 

Over land and sea. 
Binding faster, clasping stronger, 

Is our A K E. " 

In the spirit of these lines our Fraternity was 
founded and has grown. In that spirit I have col- 
lected upon the following pages some of the facts and 
figures that form the framework of the history of 
Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon for the past 
sixty years, and have supplemented them with brief 
biographical sketches of its members. Fortunately the 
little volume goes into the hands of kindly critics, for 
it has many imperfections. The task of preparing it 
has been a labor of love, in which many alumni and 
undergraduate members have promptly and kindly 
answered the frequent calls I have made upon them, 
but the exactions of daily newspaper work have not 
allowed me the time I would gladly have spent upon it, 
and the subject itself is one with which it is difficult to 



deal successfully. The real history of our Fraternity 
is engraved upon the hearts of its individual members, 
and woven with bright colors into the fabric of their 
lives ; it is not something that can be written upon 
paper. For each man the history is different; for all 
it is perfect and precious and something to be cherished 
while memory counts over its richest treasures. 

There are only a few things which the historian may 
deal with and dAvell upon, and I hope that as these 
appear upon the following pages they will be of interest 
to all my fellow members — the ''Delta Kaps" of an 
earlier generation whose heads, but not whose hearts, 
the frosts of years have, touched, and the ''Dekes" of 
later times in whose possession still remains that won- 
derful thing called youth. I hope that this volume 
may strengthen the bonds of our brotherhood ; that 
its story of the early years, and the life record of our 
members may be an inspiration to those who are to 
follow us, and that it may bear a message of love and 
loyalty from Theta to the sister Chapters of our great 
Fraternity.

THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON 



1844—1904 



THETA CHAPTER of the Delta Kappa 
Epsilon Fraternity was established at Bow- 
doin College in the Fall of 1844. The story 
of its founding begins in a correspondence 
between John S. H. Fogg, Bowdoin, '46, 
and Elisha B. Shapleigh, Yale, '46. Both of these 
young men were natives of Eliot, Maine, and had 
together prepared for college in the old academy of 
that town. The latter, when a Junior at Yale, became 
one of the fifteen members of his class who founded 
the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity in June, 1844. 
That he should write all about this imiportant event 
to his friend Fogg, at Bowdoin, was the most natural 
thing in the world ; and that the latter, with his little 
circle of closest friends, should catch the spirit of the 
movement, followed as naturally. The letters which 
passed between them have not been preserved, but we 
know that there w^as such a correspondence and that 
as its result, Shapleigh and one of his associates, 
Edward G. Bartlett, whose home was in Portsmouth, 



12 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

N. H., arranged for an early visit to Fogg at Bruns- 
wick. 

This visit was made in the first week of September, 
1844. Bowdoin was then the victim of a summer 
term, with the end — and the Commence- 
Two MEN ment, too — coming in September ; and 

FRon YALE, the Yale men seized a time when vaca- 
tion at their own institution coincided 
with term time at Bowdoin, to come to Brunswick in 
furtherance of the matter which Shapleigh and Fogg 
had already discussed by letter. They travelled from 
Portsmouth to Brunswick by team, taking two days 
for the trip. On the first day they came as far as 
Portland, stopping for dinner at a famous old half-way 
hostelry, and passing through Kennebunk, Old 
Orchard and other little hamlets, long since grown 
into famous summer resorts. On the next day they 
completed their journey, and with the arrival on Bow- 
doin's campus of these two Yale men, filled with the 
mystery and importance of their errand, and wearing 
upon their waistcoats a Fraternity pin for the first time 
seen in Brunswick, began the tangible history of 
Theta Chapter of A K E. 

The object of this visit was not long to be kept a 
secret in the little College comm.unity. Prof. Packard, 
who was Shapleigh's cousin, received the young men 
with decided coolness, for the Faculty did not look with 
approval upon a new secret Fraternity — or upon the 
two recently established in the College, for that mat- 
ter — and was carried so far by his feeling that he

refused Bartlett an invitation to a party he was about 
to give. Upon this, Shapleigh also declined to attend, 
and the two spent the evening in consultation with 
some of the proposed charter members. It cannot 
now be told where this consultation, and those which 
followed it in the next few days and evenings, were 
held. It is possible they were at the home of William 
F. Jackson, '46, since it Avas there that the formal 
organizaton of the Chapter was effected, two months 
later. The record of those preliminary m.eetings was 
never written, and the hands that could have written 
it have long since crumbled to dust. It is certain that 
the two Yale Juniors had a good time, and departed 
for their homes most favorably impressed with the 
Bowdoin men. A letter written by Bartlett, forty 
years later, bears witness to these facts, though there 
is no need of such evidence in view of the promptness 
with which the charter was granted when it was peti- 
tioned for, after the vacation. 

Although Theta Chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon 

Fraternity had its origin in the visit of Shapleigh and 

Bartlett to Brunswick during the 

Commencement season of 1844, it 

INSTITUTION dates its actual existence as an organ- 

OF ized body from Wednesday evening, 

THETA CHAPTER. November 6, 1844. It is true that 

November i, 1844, is the date upon the 

faded parchment charter w^hich has 

had a place of honor in the Chapter hall all these sixty 

years, yet November 6 was the date when the eleven 

charter members met for organization and were initi-

ated by Thomas D. Sherwood, the delegate from the 
Mother Chapter, Phi, at Yale, who came to Brunswick 
for that purpose. 

After the vacation was over and the Bowdoin stu- 
dents had settled down to the work of another college 
year, Fogg wrote to his friend Shapleigh at Yale, 
The reply is still sacredly preserved in the archives of 
Iheta Chapter. It is dated October 17, 1844, and 
says : 'T received your letter of the 14th, yesterday, and 
last evening laid it before the Society. Our secretary 
will inform you of our proceedings." Written upon 
the same sheet is a long letter from the secretary, 
Edward G. Bartlett, which refers to the letter received 
from Fogg as one whose object "appeared to be to 
ascertain whether or not you could obtain a Chapter of 
the A K E Society, Yale College." It goes on to 
express the willingness of the Yale Chapter to grant 
such a new Chapter, provided the petitioners at Bow- 
doin become an organized body, pledging themselves to 
be true to the secrets of A K E and to do all in their 
power to advance its interests. The writer also 
inquires particularly as to "the prospects of perpetuat- 
ing such a Society at Bowdoin, as we should be unwil- 
ling to have any Branch of A K E . expire inglori- 
ously." He then adds. "If you should conclude to 
become a part of us, and we feel assured that you will, 
we cordially invite any one of your number you may 
choose to send, to visit us and be regularly initiated," 
etc. 

This letter, being an official one on behalf of the Phi 
Chapter, is in a somewhat formal style and has no 



INSTITUTION OF THETA CHAPTER. 1 5 

reference to the visit of the writer to Bowdoin, two 
months earher. From its contents it is certain that it 
was the first communication received at Bowdoin from 
Yale relative to the establishment of a Chapter of 
A K E, if we except the personal letters which had 
passed between Shapleigh and Fogg, previous to the 
former's visit to Brunswick. The letter m.akes it 
equally plain that the establishment of a Chapter at 
Bowdoin was favorably considered by the Mother 
Chapter on the evening of Wednesday, October i6, 
1844, when the letter of Fogg to Shapleigh, written 
October 14, was laid before it and discussed, with its 
request given the personal endorsement of Shapleigh 
and Bartlett. 

The answer to this letter must have been both 
prompt and satisfactory, for under date of October 30 
another letter w^as sent from Yale to Bowdoin. This 
was addressed to F. L. Knight, '46, and was signed by 
A. Everett Stetson. It stated that the request for a 
Chapter of A K E at Bowdoin had been granted and 
that T. D. Sherwood had been delegated to go to 
Brunswick, the following week to install the Chapter. 
Mr. Shervvood arrived in due time, and on Wednes- 
day evening, November 6, 1844, he met the prospective 
members at the room of W. F. Jackson, '46, and 
initiated them into A K E. That the initiation cere- 
monies of today differ in some of their details from 
those performed on that memorable evening, need 
hardly be stated. 

The eleven charter members of the Chapter were 
Lewis Goodrich and William Gates Dunlap of the 



l6 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

class of 1845, ^^^ Levi Loring Bradbury, Thornton 
Cutts Emery, Charles Henry Emerson, John Samuel 
Hill Fogg, Stephen Abbott Holt, William Francis 
Jackson, Francis Lafayette Knight, James Brown 
Thornton, and George Barnard Upham of the class of 
1846. The Chapter was organized with the choice of 
Goodrich, president ; Dunlap, vice president ; Fogg, 
secretary; Jackson, corresponding secretary, and 
Emery, treasurer ; while Dunlap and Knight were 
chosen to deliver the oration and poem at the next elec- 
tion of officers. A tax of $1.50 was assessed on each 
member as an initiation fee. It was voted that it be 
left with the Yale Chapter to name the new Chapter, 
and it was not until August of the following year that 
it was notified that it was to be known as the Theta 
Chapter. At that first meeting it was also voted that 
instead of the word ''YALE" under the scroll on the 
pin, — or ''badge" as it was then called, — there be 
inscribed the letters "BOWD." This odd abbrevia- 
tion of the name of the College actually appeared upon 
the pins until 1851 and then for twenty years or more 
they bore the full word "BOWDOIN." Jackson, 
Knight and Upham were chosen a committee to secure 
pins for the members and also to engage a suitable 
room as a meeting place. 

The eleven charter members of the Chapter, two 

Seniors and nine Juniors, were beyond ques- 
CHARTER tion among the strongest men of the College 
MEMBERS, at that time. They came of good families, 

were sound scholars and were active in 
•undergraduate affairs. The early records and corre- 



THE CHARTER MEMBERS. 1 7 

spondence show how earnestly and loyally they devoted 
themselves to the welfare of the Fraternity, and with 
what thoroughness and care they laid the firm founda- 
tion upon which have been built sixty years of unin- 
terrupted progress and prosperity. There were 
obstacles to overcome, but nothing daunted them. 
They were made of sturdy stuff, those Dekes of old, 
and the heritage of their invincible spirit has been an 
inspiration to the generations that have followed them. 

Lewis Goodrich, who was older than any of his asso- 
ciates, was the head of the new Chapter, and his name 
is the only one which appears upon the charter, the 
others being grouped as his ''associates." In later 
years he gave his two sons to A K E, both being 
members of the Sigma Chapter at Amherst. He spent 
his life in the Congregational ministry. Shortly 
before his death, which occurred in 1898, he wrote to 
the Chapter and sent it his picture which now hangs in 
the Chapter hall. The other charter member from 
the Senior class, William Gates Dunlap, was a mem- 
ber of the famous Dunlap family of Brunswick. After 
graduation he engaged in trade in Hawaii. He died in 
Olympia, Washington, in 1862. 

Three others of the charter members also died in the 
far West. They were Bradbury, a lawyer, who died 
in Montgomery, Texas, in i860, being the first of the 
charter members to die ; Emery, who was the only one 
of the eleven who did not remain to graduate, who died 
in California; and Emerson, a Congregational clergy- 
man, who died in Seattle, Washington, in 1902. The 
last named was the last survivor of the charter mem- 



l8 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

bers, and for fifty-eight years he maintained the warm- 
est interest in the Chapter and the Fraternity in general. 
He wrote frequently to the Chapter and kept closely in 
touch with its affairs. Only a few months before his 
death, being then eighty-four years of age, he wrote a 
long letter to the Chapter, congratulating it upon its 
beautiful new house and expressing his regret that he 
would never see it. The photograph of himself which 
he sent at that time is a treasured relic in the house. 

Three became physicians, Jackson, Fogg and 
Upham, and all enjoyed long years of usefulness 
among men. Jackson died in Boston in 1879; Fogg 
in Boston in 1893 ; and Upham in Yonkers, N. Y., in 
1889. Upham was the only one of the charter mem- 
bers who was not a native of Maine. Fogg was really 
the leader in the establishment of the Chapter, for it 
"was through his acquaintance with Shapleigh of Yale 
that the suggestion of a Chapter of A K E at Bow- 
doin was first made, and he opened the correspondence 
which brought about the desired result. He was also 
one of the delegates, Jackson being the other, sent to 
organize and initiate the Chapter at Waterville, and he 
was prominent in the correspondence which resulted in 
the establishment of Sigma Chapter at Amherst. His 
interest in the Fraternity was unabated to the end. 
His son was a member of the Alpha Chapter at Har- 
vard in the class of '73. In the closing years of his 
life, when he was helpless with paralysis, he found 
diversion in making one of the best collections of auto- 
graphs in America. This collection, valued at $25,000, 
he bequeathed to the Maine Historical Society. Like 



THE FIRST YEAR. I9 

his friend Shapleigh, he represented one of Ehot's best 
old families, and for his benefactions his native tov/n 
will always hold him in grateful remembrance. 

The remaining three, like Goodrich and Emerson, 
did faithful service in the Christian ministry. Knight, 
who ranked highest in scholarship among the eleven, 
died in Washington, D. C, in 1876; Holt, who gave up 
the ministry and became a prosperous merchant, died 
in Boston in 1895 ; and Thornton at Scarboro in 1888, 
being the only one of the eleven to end his days in 
the State where ten of them were born. It is worth 
noting that it was for Holt's use that Elijah Kellogg, 
then a young pastor at Harpswell and a warm personal 
friend of Holt, wrote his immortal declamation 
''Regulus to the Carthaginians." This was declaimed 
by Holt at the Junior Prize Speaking, August 25, 1845, 
winning the jEirst prize. 

The first meeting of Theta Chapter, November 6, 
1844, was held, as has been said, in the room of W. F. 
Jackson, '46. This room was at the home of 
THE ^^^ parents in Brunswick. The two subse- 
FiRST quent meetings which were held that term 
YEAR, were also held here, and then the Chapter met 
in the hall, or ''room" as it is always called in 
the records, which the committee had secured for the 
purpose. This room w^as engaged of "Mr. Cushing" 
so the records state, but its location cannot now be 
learned. It was occupied only until August, 1846, 
when a larger hall, with commodious anterooms, on 
the third floor of the old Dunlap Block on Maine 
Street, a building since replaced by the new Dunlap 



20 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Block, was engaged for the same rental, $20 per 
annum. This continued to be the meeting place of the 
chapter for twenty years. The room first engaged was 
fitted up at an expense of $28.03, o^ which $17 was 
paid for chairs, $6.75 for a stove, $2.50 for lamps, 33 
cents for a mat, 20 cents for a ''lamp feeder," and 95 
cents for postage. Later the luxury of a desk was 
added, ''similar to that in Odd Fellows' hall." 

The meeting place of the Chapter in those early 
years was kept a profound secret from the world in 
general and from the other Fraternities in the College 
in particular, and the members were accustomed to go 
to it singly and by devious routes on the evenings when 
meetings were held. In the early years the meetings 
were held once in two weeks on Monday evenings, 
though special meetings were often called as circum- 
stances demanded. The regard in which attendance 
at meetings was held is shown by the fact that for 
many years a fine of 25 cents was imposed for each 
absence for which a good excuse was not presented, 
and the names of absent members were recorded in 
the minutes of each meeting. 

Theta Chapter began its existence with a member- 
ship of eleven, but this was quickly increased. At tne 
same meeting when the Chapter was organized, 
November 6, 1844, three members of the class of '47, 
then Sophomores, were elected to membership, Jona- 
than Greenleaf Eveleth, Samuel Wesley Hatch and 
Charles Henry Wheeler; and at the second meeting, 
November 11, Napoleon Bonapart Ward, of the same 
class, was added to the number. These four students 



THE FIRST YEAR. 21 

were initiated on the following evening, November 12 ; 
or, in the words of the record, ''having taken the 
afhrmation of secrecy, received the right hand of fel- 
lowship from the Fraternity and signed the constitu- 
tion, were constituted brethren by our mystic band." 
This first initiation took place in the room of Jackson 
where the earlier meetings had been held. It was the 
last regular meeting held there, though special meet- 
ings wiic occasionally held there through the f ^1 'ow- 
ing year. 

No members were added during the following 
Winter months, but, April 7, 1845, Anson Gancello 
Stmchfield, '47, was initiated. Early in the Summer 
term, July 14, six more members were admitted. 
They were Isaac Stevens Metcalf, '47, and Isaac 
Winslow Case, Edmund Hayes, Samuel Fisher 
Humphrey, Lafayette Grover, and Eliphalet Franklin 
Packard, all from the class of '48. This raised the 
membership of the Chapter to twenty-two, but as the 
constitution then provided that the number of members 
in a Chapter should at no time exceed eighteen and 
should ordinarily be only fifteen, the Chapter had 
passed a by-law, June 16, with the somewhat remark- 
able provision that no person should be regarded as a 
"constitutional member" until the last term of Sopho- 
more year. This resulted in a peculiar state of affairs 
within the Chapter which was relieved, however, when 
the Mother Chapter in October, 1845, agreed to a 
change in the constitution making the limit twenty-two 
members instead of eighteen. At the first Convention 
of the Fraternity, held at Yale, December 23, 1846, the 



2.2 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

clause limiting the membership of a Chapter was 
stricken from the constitution. 

With the membership of Theta at twenty-two when 
the end of the first college year was reached, it sus- 
tained its first loss in the graduation of Goodrich and 
Dunlap and the withdrawal of Emery from College on 
account of ill health. 

There is an interesting story connected with the 
manner in which the existence of Theta of A K E 
was first made known to the other students 
STORY ^^ Bowdoin. It was the purpose of the 

OF founders to keep the existence of the Chap- 

THE PINS, ter a secret until the beginning of the Spring 
term when they proposed to appear in public 
for the first time wearing their pins. A vote to this 
effect was passed at the first meeting. But the secret 
came out in the most unexpected manner through the 
ordering of the pins from the New Haven jewellers 
who had made those for Phi Chapter at Yale. The 
letter was sent to Dury & Peck, booksellers, instead of 
to Brown & Kirby, jewellers, the mistake being that of 
Sherwood who gave the Bowdoin men the wrong 
address. Dury & Peck could not understand its con- 
tents, but seeing that it concerned jewellry they took 
it to Brown & Kirby who occupied a neighboring store. 
This firm, finding Sherwood's name in it, sent it to his 
room in the Yale yard to get more information on the 
mysterious commission which it contained. 

Sherwood happened to be out, but his roommate was 
in, and that young man was a member of Psi Upsilon. 
The open letter was left there to await Sherwood's 



STORY OF THE PINS. 23 

return, and the roommate, forgetting certain ethical 
principles with which, as a Yale Junior, he was pre- 
sumably acquainted, proceeded to read it. It is easy to 
imagine his amazement at its contents. The new 
society, which, though less than six months old, was 
proving a worthy rival of the two older societies at 
Yale, had become more than a local affair and had 
entered the world of intercollegiate Greek-letter Fra- 
ternities by establishing a Chapter at Bowdoin ! Pos- 
sibly, as this intelligence dawned upon him, there 
flashed across his mind visions of the coming years 
with A K E the greatest and strongest of them all, 
standing the acknowledged head of college Fraterni- 
ties. But whatever else he thought of, he did not 
think to tell Sherwood that he had read the letter, and 
he lost no time in informing his Psi Upsilon brethren 
of his startling discovery. They in turn hurried a 
letter off to Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon at Bow- 
doin, and this communication is understood to have 
been the first intimation to others at the College that 
A K E was in existence at Bowdoin, though it had 
certainly been suspected that a movement for a Chapter 
was on foot. 

The matter of the pins was straightened out in due 
time and they arrived early in March, 1845 5 ^^<^ 
although their appearance did not cause the surprise 
that had been hoped for, they were worn with none 
the less pride. And from that day to this, the diamond 
bearing ''the stars and scroll and the mystic letters 
three" has been proudly and worthily worn by the sons 



24 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

of Theta, both on old Bowdoin's campus and through- 
out the length and breadth of the land. 

One of the first important things which Theta of 
A K E proceeded to do as soon as it was firmly 
established was to take steps toward 
ESTABLISHMENT forming a Chapter of the Fraternity 
OF XI CHAPTER. at Colby — then Waterville — College. 
A search of the records and corre- 
spondence of that period brings out the curious fact, 
however, that the Chapter at Waterville is not so old by 
a year as it is commonly credited with being. The 
General Catalogue of the Fraternity states that the 
Chapter was chartered June 25, 1845, ^^^ that, to be 
sure, is the date which the charter bears. The Chapter 
even celebrated its semi-centennial during the Com- 
mencement week of June, 1895, with public exercises 
which included a history, an oration and a poem by dis- 
tinguished alumni, and a splendid gathering of its 
loyal members from far and near. 

But in the interests of historical accuracy it should 
be stated that Xi Chapter was not established, nor, in 
fact, petitioned for, until June, 1846, a fact which is 
easily enough demonstrated. The mistake doubtless 
arose from a mistake in dating the charter. Thiy 
document was not made out and given to the Chapter 
until the convention which was held at Yale, December 
23, 1846, and in filling in the date somebody blundered 
and wrote "1845" instead of ''1846." If the mistake 
was noticed it was never corrected ; and as years passed 
by and few bothered to make themselves familiar with 



ESTABLISHMENT OF XI CHAPTER. 2^ 

I 

the early records, it was natural that the date borne by 
the charter was accepted without question. 

Among the old letters filed away in the archives of 
Theta, the first referring to a proposition to establish a 
Chapter at Waterville is one from J. G. Eveleth, '47, 
who was teaching in Lisbon, to W. F. Jackson, '46. It 
is dated October 11, 1845, ^^^ states that the writer 
has communicated with Hatch at Waterville, "who, 
you know, is a good scholar and a good fellow," — 
showing the early A K E ideal, — in the matter of 
introducing a Chapter at Waterville ; and that "Hatch 
has talked it over with some of the best fellows in 
Waterville who highly approve of the plan and will 
take hold with heart and hand." Eveleth goes on to 
say that no society has yet been established there and 
the time is favorable if prompt action is taken. 

The next letter is one to Jackson from Hatch, under 
date of October 29, 1845. Hatch was teaching in Sid- 
ney, but had visited Waterville after hearing from 
Eveleth and writes that he "disclosed the affair with 
due caution," with the result that "there are now six 
of us in the arrangement" — Drummond, Starkey, 
True, Ware, Palmer and himself. "We think it best, 
if a Chapter is to be established at Waterville. that it 
be done as soon as practicable. If six of us are not 
enough to be united, we will have more forthwith." 
This letter was followed November 6, 1845 — when 
Theta was exactly one year old, — by one to Jackson 
from Josiah H. Drummond who confined himself 
mainly to overcoming the fears of the Bowdoin men 
that Faculty opposition would endanger the success of 



26 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

a Chapter in Waterville. He said that the article in the 
college laws forbidding secret societies was aimed at 
"rowdy societies which formerly prevailed to such a 
degree at Waterville, and did not have in view such 
societies as A K E. We are willing to take the risk. 
I think the Faculty is not so blinded as not to allow 
such a society. I think I know they have the interests 
of the college too much at heart to put us down." He 
did not think it was necessary to petition the college 
overseers, as had evidently been suggested in Jackson's 
letter, and signed himself ''yours in the anticipation of 
a close bond of brotherhood." 

While this correspondence was going on, the Phi 
Chapter had been communicated with on the subject 
by the members of Theta. At first the answer was 
unfavorable. Under date of November 14, 1845, 
Thomas Y. Simmons of the Yale Chapter wrote : "Our 
Branch is of the opinion that it would not be productive 
of any benefit to the Fraternity, and would prefer it not 
being put into effect." Then more persuasive letters 
were sent from Brunswick to New Haven and the cor- 
responding secretary of Phi wrote, January 7, 1846 : 
"We have reconsidered our decision regarding the 
establishment of a Branch at Waterville, and upon your 
representation of the advantages have passed a resolu- 
tion authorizing you to found a Branch there." 

This letter reached Brunswick during the long 
Winter vacation which then prevailed and it was not 
until the evening of Wednesday, February 25, 1846, 
that it was read to the members of Theta in meeting 
assembled. The matter was discussed and it was

voted to defer action until a later meeting. The 
records of the Chapter do not mention the subject again 
until we come to those of May 14 when there is this 
important entry : "The question of establishing a 
Chapter of the Society at Waterville was then dis- 
cussed, and on motion of Hawkins it was voted to 
establish a Chapter there, provided that matters shall 
appear favorable. Metcalf and Hayes were chosen a 
committee to visit Waterville in the vacation and make 
arrangements about the affair." The visit was made, 
and doubtless matters appeared favorable, for at the 
first meeting of the Summer term, June 17, 1846, Jack- 
son and Fogg were appointed a committee to go to 
Waterville and establish a Chapter, the cautious clause 
"if practicable" being added to their instructions. 

In the meantime urgent letters had been coming 
from Waterville. Hatch wrote, May 16, that he was 
anxious to know of the conclusion reached regarding 
a Chapter at Waterville. He said: "There is an 
influence here in favor of Psi Upsilon. There is con- 
siderable said about forming a Chapter of that here, 
and we can give no answer to those wishing us to 
enter the scheme with them until we have an answer as 
10 the A K E." On June 8, Drummond wrote a 
letter of much the same tenor, mentioning also his 
earnest desire that the Chapter be formed as soon as 
possible, since he and one other of the prospective 
members would graduate, two months later. He also 
dwelt upon the efforts of Psi Upsilon to get into the 
college first, and expressed the fear that some of "our 
fellows" might get tired of waiting and join that. 



28 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

This letter was followed by the formal petition for 
a Chapter at Waterville. It is dated June 22, 1846, is 
addressed ''To the President and other Officers and 
Brethren of the A K E Society, Theta Chap., Bowd. 
Coll.," and is signed by George R. Starkey, (in whose 
copperplate chirography the petition is drawn), 
Josiah H. Drummond, David S. True, Henry I. 
Ware, Horatio Q. Butterfield, Ephriam W. Young, G. 
M. D. L. Palmer, and Walter M. Hatch. 

Upon receipt of this petition, and spurred to prompt 
and decisive action by the warning of Psi Upsilon's 
attempt to get ahead of them, Jackson and Fogg, as 
authorized by the Chapter proceeded to Waterville, and 
on the evening of Thursday, June 25, 1846, initiated 
the petitioners into the mysteries of A K E and insti- 
tuted the Chapter. The meeting was held in No. 27, 
North College, since destroyed by fire. Three men 
were initiated who were not among the petitioners, 
Stephen L. Bowler, Alexander Gamble and Benjamin 
W. Dean ; while two of the petitioners, Palmer and 
True, were not present and were initiated by the 
Chapter a little later. In the records of Theta for the 
meeting of July 8, 1846, appears this entry: ''The com- 
mittee chosen to establish a Chapter of the Society at 
Waterville College then reported that they visited 
Waterville for that purpose and initiated nine members 
of that college into the fellowship of Delta Kappa 
Epsilon." 

Thus was born Xi of A K E, the pioneer in the 
Fraternity system at Colby, and always since its estab- 
lishment a strong and loyal Chapter of our great 



EARLY INCIDENTS. 29 

brotherhood. It was the fourth Chapter of A K E, 
Zeta at Princeton, estabHshed in August, 1845, being 
the third. The relations between Theta and Xi have 
always been close and cordial. In the records of 
Theta for September 2, 1846, we find the following- 
mention of the institution of a most commendable cus- 
tom : ''The meeting was rendered peculiarly pleasant 
by the presence of Brothers Bowler, Fairbanks, 
Gamble, Hatch, True, Ware, Butterfield and Young 
of the Waterville Chapter who all expressed them- 
selves as highly gratified by the exercises of the even- 
ing." It was on the occasion of this visit to Bow- 
doin that the members of the new Chapter first 
appeared in public wearing their pins. A little later a 
delegation from Theta attended a meeting of Xi ; and 
many the visits and still more frequent the exchanges 
of letters in the years that followed. 

The records of Theta's early meetings abound in 
references to occasions when there was "a feast of 
reason and a flow of wit," but the first 
EARLY "feed," in the modern acceptance of the 

INCIDENTS, term, in which the young Chapter indulged, 
was on the evening of September 3, 1845. 
It was the last meeting of the Summer term and con- 
sequently the last meeting of the Chapter's first year, 
and it was made a gala occasion in various ways. 
Four honorary members, all young alumni, were 
initiated, of whom we will speak later ; there was an 
oration on "The Connection Between Religion and 
Politics," by Dunlap, '45, "even more than fulfilling 
the expectations of the most zealous ;" also a poem by 



30 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Knight, '46, ''displaying much originaUty of thought 
and power of imagination ; * * * =h after which Hter- 
ary feasts the Society administered to their physical 
wants from a splendid collation prepared by the com- 
mittee previously appointed." 

The imagination is not forced to a difficult or 
unpleasant task when it pictures the scene. The 
records of the meeting go on to state the interesting 
fact that ''the festivities of the evening were much 
heightened by the presence of two of our Yale breth- 
ren, Messrs. Shapleigh and Bartlett, who joyously par- 
took with us in our feasts of fat things, literary and 
convivial." These brothers had both visited Bowdoin 
before in the interests of forming the Chapter, but as 
this was the first time that a member of Phi had been 
at Bowdoin since Sherwood came to institute Theta 
Chapter, it is the first instance in the history of 
A K E where members of one Chapter visited 
another. It was just a year earlier than the visit of the 
eight Colby brethren, referred to on a previous page, 
which was doubtless the second instance of the kind. 

On the second anniversary of its establishment, 
November 6, 1846, Theta received the first addition to 
its membership from the ranks of a sister Chapter. 
This was in the person of Henry I. Ware, '47, one of 
the charter members of Xi, who had severed his con- 
nection with Waterville College and become a stu- 
dent at Bowdoin. He was at once elected to member- 
ship in Theta and warmly welcomed into the full fel- 
lowship of the Chapter. He v/as the first of twelve 



EARLY INCIDENTS. 3 1 

members of Xi who have come to Bowdoin and affiU- 
ated with Theta Chapter. 

The first Convention of the A K E Fraternity was 
held with Phi at New Haven, December 23, 1846, and 
Theta sent as delegates Isaac S. Metcalf and Henry 
I. Ware, both of '47. The Fraternity consisted at that 
time of four Chapters besides the Mother Chapter at 
Yale, Theta at Bowdoin, Zeta at Princeton, Xi at Colby 
and Sigma at Amherst, the last named being only a 
month old. The Bowdoin delegates related to 
their brethren at the meeting of February 15, 
1847, the doings of the Convention. The con- 
stitution was amicnded in several important 
respects ; the Chapter officers were given the desig- 
nations by which they have since been known ; 
the initiation ritual was enlarged and improved; 
charters were given by Phi to the four Chapters 
which up to that time had existed and done business 
without any such written authority ; and by the gath- 
ering and conference of the delegates the Fraternity 
was strengthened in every respect. 

The first break made by death in the ranks of 
A K E at Bowdoin, or in the whole Fraternity, for 
that matter, came when Henry I. Ware, '47, spoken 
of above as coming from Xi Chapter and as a dele- 
gate to the first Convention, died of consumption at his 
home in Athens in July, 1847. He had nearly com- 
pleted his college course, but failing health compelled 
him to give up and go to his home in the Spring of 
1847. To all in the Chapter his death was that of a 
brother and the mentions of it in the records are such 



32 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILOi:. 

that no doubt is left of the depth of the sorrow felt by 
his fellow members. For the first time crepe was 
worn upon the pins of the Fraternity. A constitu- 
tional amendment was discussed, providing for such an 
outward mark of respect- and sorrow in case of a 
deceased brother, and there was correspondence con- 
cerning it among the Chapters, but finally it was 
decided that it would destroy its highest significance 
if it were made a constitutional obligation. 

Under date of October 12, 1847, ^ letter was 
received from Phi Chapter, enclosing resolutions of 
respect and sympathy passed at the first meeting after 
the Summer vacation, and stating that it had been 
voted that all members should wear crepe on their 
badges for a period of thirty days. This speaks most 
eloquently of the closeness of the bond between the 
Chapters in those early years. 

The second death in the Chapter, and the third in 
the Fraternity at large, was that of Edmund Hayes, 
'48. At the end of his Junior year, while holding the 
highest office in the Chapter, he was compelled by ill 
health to give up his college work and travelled in the 
West. At two o'clock on the morning of August 2, 
1848, while landing from a steamboat at Cleveland, 
Ohio, he lost his footing, fell into the lake and was 
drowned. By a sad coincidence, he died on the day 
when his class was receiving its final examinations 
before graduation. The news reached Brunswick, 
August 4, and a special meeting of the Chapter was at 
once called at which fitting resolutions were passed 
and the pins ordered draped for a period of fifteen

days. A younger brother of the deceased was a mem- 
ber of the Chapter at that time. 

The matter of the election of honorary members early 
engaged the attention of Theta Chapter. We read in 
the records of June 16, 1845, that a commit- 
OUR ^^^ ^^^ ^^^^ evening appointed to consider 

HONORARY the advisability of admitting such members. 
nEriBERS. This committee communicated with the 
Mother Chapter at Yale upon the subject, 
and at the meeting of August 13 a letter from Phi, 
written July 31, was read in which it was stated that a 
by-law had been adopted, providing for honorary 
members but limiting them to the graduates of the 
college where the Chapter was located. This authority 
was all that Theta was waiting for, and it promptly 
elected four young alumni to honorary membership. 
They were initiated, September 3, 1845, ^.t the last 
meeting of Theta's first year. On this occasion, as 
related earlier, the Chapter indulged in its first ban- 
quet and the festivities were honored by the presence 
of two members of the Phi Chapter. The honorary 
members initiated that evening, were James Drum- 
mond, '36, Leonard P. Merrill, '42, Albion W. Knight, 
'41, and Thomas J. W. Pray, '44. 

During the next two or three years many honorary 
members were elected. By some unaccountable over- 
sight the General Catalogue of the Fraternity, issued 
in 1890, gives the names of only five of Theta's hon- 
orary members, and doubtless this circumstance has 
deceived many of our younger alumni as to the facts 
of the case, particularly as the same error was made in 



34 



THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 



the Catalogue of 1900 and in other Hsts that have been 
published. As a matter of fact the total number of 
Theta's honorary members is twenty-six of whom 
three are now living. The records are plain enough in 
this matter. The date of election is known in each 
instance, and in many cases the letters of acceptance 
are on file in the archives. 

Some of the earlier honorary members were initiated 
with the same ceremonies that marked the reception of 
undergraduate members, and like them signed their 
names to the constitution and by-laws. Some of them 
frequently attended the meetings of the Chapter and 
took part in its exercises. Thus at the meeting of 
September 2, 1846, — the meeting, as it happened, when 
letters accepting honorary membership were read from 
Seba Smith, '18, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, '25, — an 
oration was delivered by Leonard P. Merrill, '42, and 
a poem by Albion W. Knight, '41, who had been initi- 
ated as honorary members, a year earlier. Some of 
the honorary members were relatives of undergrad- 
uates ; some lived in Brunswick ; some were in the 
Medical School; and some were teachers in prepara- 
tory schools where the infant Chapter evidently felt 
that a good word in its behalf would not be amiss. 

Of the twenty-six honorary members, nineteen were 
elected in the first three years of the Chapter's exist- 
ence; one was elected in 1858, and six in 1869, when 
the general Convention of the Fraternity was held at 
Bowdoin. Thus thirty-five years have passed since 
Theta Chapter elected an honorary member, and the 
possibility that the number will ever be added to is 



d.e.1.

precluded by a change in the Fraternity constitution 
made by the general Convention a year or two ago. 

At first each Chapter could elect its honorary mem- 
bers as it pleased, the only restriction being that they 
should be graduates of the college where it was located. 
In May, 1847, by consent of the Phi Chapter, the con- 
stitution was amended so that the concurrent vote of 
two-thirds of the other Chapters w^as made necessary to 
the electon of an honorary member by any Chapter, 
At the same time the clause restricting such members 
to the alumni of the college was repealed. The reason 
why this latter change was made is apparent in Theta's 
prompt election and initiation of S. Augustus Lord, a 
graduate of Dartmouth, '43, then attending the Bow- 
doin Medical School. Nevertheless, of Theta's 
twenty-six honorary members, twenty were graduates 
of Bowdoin, and three of the others later received hon- 
orary degrees from Bowdoin. It is interesting to note 
that these honorary members have given thirteen sons 
to active membership in the Fraternity, seven of the 
sons being members of Theta Chapter, three of Alpha 
at Harvard, two of Phi at Yale, and one of Sigma at 
Amherst. 

Three of our honorary members are still living: 
George F. Dunning, a Brunswick citizen, long in gov- 
ernment service and now residing at Farmington, 
Conn. ; Josiah L. Pickard, '44, whose four brothers 
became active members of A K E and whose life has 
been spent in educational work in the West; and 
Eugene Hale, United States Senator from Maine since 
1881, who was elected to honorary membership in 1869,

the year that his brother, who was an active member of 
Theta, graduated from Bowdoin. Brief sketches of 
each of the twenty-six are given in the membership 
catalogue later in this volume. 

Our Fraternity no longer sanctions the election of 
honorary members, and in these days when A K E 
is great and powerful, the restriction is a wise one. 
But in the early days — and it is well tO' remember that 
nearly all of Theta's honorary members were elected 
in the first three years of its life, and none more 
recently than thirty-five years ago — it was undoubt- 
edly a source of strength to have the help and friend- 
ship of a few young alumni who were active and 
influential. Rivalries were stronger then; there was 
Faculty opposition, and in many ways the Chapter had 
much more to contend with than in later years. The 
election of honorary members was not the selection of 
a few famous names to bolster up the Chapter, for it 
will be observed that practically all of Theta's honor- 
ry members who have become famous won their suc- 
cess and distinction after, and not before, their election 
to A K E, thus giving the Fraternity much greater 
reason to be proud of their connection with it. 

Thus John A. Andrew was elected to honorary mem- 
bership in Theta of A K E fifteen years before he 
became war governor of Massachusetts ; Nathaniel 
Hawthorne, long before he wrote his immortal master- 
pieces ; Eugene Hale, before Maine ever sent him to 
Washington ; John Searle Tenney, ten years before he 
became Chief Justice of Maine; James G. Blaine, 
before he became a great leader in national politics;

and Josiah L. Pickard, forty years before he became a 
university president. 

Frequently throughout this history there are refer- 
ences to the early correspondence of Theta Chapter. 
It is a matter of congratulation that 
EARLY the letters received from other 

CORRESPONDENCE. Chapters and from individuals were 
faithfully preserved; and half a 
doztrj years ago, a special committee on the archives, 
of which the leading spirit and chief worker was 
Arthur Huntington Nason, '99, carefully arranged 
these letters in files by years, making them easy of 
access and putting at the disposal of the Fraternity his- 
torian almost unlimited material. This material is 
largely of more direct interest to the general Fraternity, 
or to certain other Chapters, since the correspondence 
pri^s< 1 ved is of necessity one-sided, and the early let- 
ters sent out by Theta, which would be priceless in the 
preparation of a work of this kind, are not available. 

Never-' heless the letters received in those first years, 
however indirectly many of them bear on the history 
of our own Chapter, are of absorbing interest. They 
show the loyalty that from the first characterized mem- 
bers of A K E; the tireless activity in Fraternity 
affairs ; the determination not to be outdone by any 
rival ; and the progressive spirit that put our Fraternity 
at the front and kept it there. The letters were often 
many pages long, discussing in detail and with the 
greatest freedom affairs in the Chapter and in the col- 
lege. Of course, in later years when the Chapters were 
more numerous, the letters were often formal and per- 



38 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

functory, containing merely the list of officers or a few 
lines as to conditions and prospects; but for the first 
decade or more, though the Chapters were scattered 
from Maine to Tennessee and Mississippi, the bond 
between them was so close that the letters were as 
those of the members of a family separated for a time. 
The power of the Mother Chapter, Phi, was almost 
absolute in those days, and the respect paid her by the 
others was only equalled by the benignity of her rule. 
Only three general Conventions were held in the first 
decade, and the matter of new Chapters, honorary 
members, constitutional changes and almost all affairs 
relating to^ the general Fraternity were arranged by 
letter. This correspondence was to the young Fra- 
ternity what the Council and Quarterly have become to 
it in its years of maturity and power. The war time 
correspondence is referred to elsewhere. After the 
war, with the increase in the number of Chapters and 
the holding of yearly Conventions, there were not many 
such letters exchanged as in the old times. There 
were elaborate resolutions announcing the death of 
alumni members, and printed forms filled in with the 
list of officers, but the files show few other communi- 
cations. If they were received there was certainly less 
care in their preservation. Then came the Quarterly 
with its articles and Chapter letters, which, for over a 
score of years, has kept the chapters in close touch 
with each other and with A K E affairs much better 
than could any system of correspondence in a Fra- 
ternity of our size. 



EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 39 

Let US glance through the old files at a few of the 
many letters treasured there. The letters from Yale 
relative to the establishment of a Chapter at Bowdoin 
have been earlier referred to. After the Chapter was 
organized, November 6, 1844, the first communication 
it received was one from the Phi Chapter, November 
29, which began as follows : ''The prosperity of A K E 
at Bowdoin being a matter of the greatest concern 
to her elder sister at Yale, the Society has thought best 
that a correspondence should regularly be kept up 
between the kindred two. Accordingly they have 
directed their corresponding secretary to enquire into 
the condition of your Branch, how it takes with the 
other Societies and members of college, and what in 
short your prospects are." In concluding, the letter 
says : ''There is not one of our members who would 
not lend heart and hand to your cause, and the prayer 
of each is that you may prosper. I will only add that 
the prospects of A K E at old Yale are bright." The 
letter is signed by Thomas I. Franklin, one of the 
charter members of Phi. Thus did the Mother Chapter 
from the very first show tenderest solicitude for her 
offspring, and thus was begun the intimate correspond- 
ence which continued for years between Phi and Theta 
and with each of the others as they were in turn estab- 
lished. 

Under date of June 8, 1845, Thomas D. Sherwood 
writes of his pleasant memories of his visit to Bow- 
doin, the previous November, when he came as the 
delegate of Phi to establish Theta. He goes on to 
say: "It is also a source of gratification to me to 



40 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

consider that my visit there was also the humble 
instrument of so much good to the Society at Yale. It 
delights us here to learn of your success ; and that 
from being at first a worthy and able rival of the other 
Societies of much 'greater antiquity/ you now bear off 
the palm; that is, if report sayeth aright. The fact 
is this. One of our members chanced to meet in his 
ramblings during the last vacation a student from 
Bowdoin. Talking of Societies, as is natural for all 
students, the gentleman from Bowdoin remarked that 
there was a new Society that was going altogether 
ahead of the other two. The gentleman wore no pin. 
He might have been a member of A K E. I hope he 
was not, for the sake of the story; and if he was, I 
hope and trust that what he said is true." The letter 
concludes with an urgent invitation to send a represen- 
tative down to the initiation at Yale, early in July. 

The establishment of the third Chapter of the Fra- 
ternity, the Psi Chapter at Princeton, later known as 
the Zeta Chapter, was announced to Theta in a letter 
from Phi, September 3, 1845. It was organized by 
Thomas Y. Simmons, Yale, '47, who went to Princeton 
for the purpose, the previous week. He writes : "I 
was successful beyond my fondest anticipations ; not 
that I deemed it impossible, but I thought the attain- 
ment of such an object would have presented many 
impediments and obstacles. This Branch has been 
established solely in the Senior class of whom I had 
the pleasure of initiating ten into the brotherhood and 
mysteries ofAKE * * * * Their Branch has 
been entitled the Psi Branch." Three weeks later came 



EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 4I 

the first letter from this new Chapter at Princeton, in 
reply to one sent by Theta, giving a list of members 
and explaining the local society system of Princeton. 
A hall, formerly occupied by a Masonic Lodge, had 
been rented by the Chapter, and it felt that its prospects j 

were rosy. There was no hint of the Faculty opposi- i 

tion that soon after killed the Chapter. | 

A letter sent by Thomas Y. Simmons of Phi, Octo- : 

ber 3, 1845, iTiakes it plain that the suggestion of a i 

Chapter at Amherst was first made by the members of • 

Theta, and doubtless by Fogg, '46, to whom the letter ' 

was addressed. The letter states that the suggestion I 

"meets with our most hearty approbation." Upon ! 

receipt of this letter, Fogg at once wrote to his friend, ; 

O. H. White, at Amherst, for the files preserve a letter \ 

from White, written October 18, 1845, ''^^ reply to I 

your letter of October 6." This letter states that ' 

White and "a few confidential friend's" had examined i 

the matter carefully and had found a few obstacles in j 

the way of establishing a new Society at Amherst at I 

that time. The chief obstacle seemed to be that the ] 

existing Societies had charters from the college trustees j 

whose next meeting was an indefinite time in the ] 

future. For this reason it was deemed best to defer i 

action for a time. In concluding, White wrote : ''We 
shall hold ourselves in readiness for the establishment 
of said Society or soon as it can be done with certainty 
of success so as to be an honor to yourselves and to us. 
WfC want to be sure it will live, and not only live, but 
be the best Society in college. Then we are ready to 
go ahead." This was the beginning, and a year later 



42 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Sigma of A K E was established. The first letter 
received from Sigma is dated February i8, 1847, and 
signed by Louis P. Ledoux. It is of considerable 
length and has a most interesting account of condi- 
tions at Amherst. 

Another letter from Thomas Y. Simmons in Octo- 
ber, 1845, gives authority to Theta Chapter to initiate 
Allen H. Weld as an honorary member on behalf of 
Phi Chapter. Mr. Weld was a graduate of Yale in 
the class of ^34, and in 1845 was teaching in Maine at 
North Yarmouth Academy. There is nothing in the 
records, however, to show that the initiation ever took 
place. A letter received the same month, from N. B. 
Ward, '47, who had left Bowdoin and was attending a 
medical school in Baltimore, states that he had been 
looking over St. Mary's College in that city as a pos- 
sible field for a Chapter of A K E. He was not 
particularly impressed but proposed to make further 
investigations. 

In the section of this history relating to the estab- 
lishment of Xi Chapter at Colby the correspondence 
was frequently referred to and quoted from. The first 
letter after the establishment of Xi was from George 
R. Starkey, June 2.y, 1846, and its stately style, as well 
as its subject matter, makes it worth quoting here: 
"It is meet that we should take this early opportunity 
to express our gratitude to your particular brotherhood 
through whose exertions and instrumentality we have 
obtained the privileges and honors to be derived from 
a connection with the A K E Society. Truly it 
should be a matter of congratulation to ourselves that 



EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 43 

we are able to claim kindred with congenial souls and 
have that claim allowed. For an account of the 
auspices under which a fourth Chapter of your order 
has been opened we must refer you to your honorable 
committee by whose courteous services we were 
enabled to establish it." The letter speaks later of 
having ordered twelve pins to bear ''the character 
designating our Chapter, rather than the name of the 
college abbreviated ;" and closes : "Adieu ; yours truly 
on behalf of the Chapter at Waterville, Geo. R. 
Starkey." Evidently the Chapter was not given its 
designation as "Xi" at the time of establishment. 
Probably that was a detail attended to by the Mother 
Chapter at Yale. We have seen that our own Chapter 
was not known as "Theta" until ten months after its 
establishment. 

The second letter received from the young Chapter 
at Waterville was from Josiah H. Drummond, under 
date of July i, 1846. Although the Chapter was only 
a week old, the writer, with the zeal and thoroughness 
that characterized his life work, was seeking light on 
various parts of the constitution, and asked the Bow- 
doin brethren to give their construction of several 
articles. At the end of his letter we find some inter- 
esting comment upon the unsuccessful attempt which 
Psi Upsilon had made to get into Colby ahead of A K E. 
He goes on to say : "They may be trying now, 
and on account of this suspicion we shall hurry our 
movements in regard to the Freshmen. Baker tried 
some of our fellows but they were already pledged to 
us. If we get the first choice in the Freshman class, 



44 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

all they can possibly get will not begin to compare with 
our fellows, either in character or scholarship. I want 
to see Ellis when he hears of the Chapter at this college. 
'Twould be worth ten years of peaceful life to see his 
indignation and rage." Probably the two men 
referred to were Joseph W. Ellis, Bowdoin, '46, and 
William M. Baker, Bowdoin, '47, both members of Psi 
Upsilon. 

A particularly breezy letter is that from E. P. Abbe 
of the Phi Chapter, August 14, 1846. It calls Theta 
^'our dearest offspring, the apple of our eye;" refers 
to Harvard as "a Boston High School;" declares "we 
have the finest fellows of the whole college ;" and pays 
respect to Psi Upsilon as "a feeble folk who have taken 
the offscouring of our class." There is a letter from 
Henry Hitchcock of Phi, May 7, 1847, which showed 
that the ethics of the early years allowed considerable 
latitude in the matter of prying into the affairs of rival 
Fraternities, as various mottoes and grips are explained 
with much detail and relish. The first letter from the 
young Chapter at Nashville, June i, 1847, relates that 
by some mistake the seal of the Chapter bore the letter 
"Tau" instead of ''Gamma," and there seemed to b^. 
doubt in the mind of the writer whether it would be 
easier to get another seal or change the designation of 
the Chapter. 

James Wheeler Raynor, Amherst, '48, one of the 
charter members of Sigma, in a long letter June 2, 
1847, writes: ''Our present object is to lay the foun- 
dations of our Chapter deep and strong and broad, on 
which we hope to see arise a structure beautiful and 



EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 45 

majestic, possessed of the grace of the Parthenon, and 
enduring as the imperishable granite." How well that 
foundation was laid and how fully those hopes were 
realized are attested by the Sigma of today. Another 
letter from Amherst in October, 1847, tells how Alpha 
Delta Phi and Psi Upsilon were seeking to injure or 
destroy the young Chapter by urging its best members 
to forsake it and join them. ''You are too smart men to 
be dragging that little Society up hill," said the tempter 
on one occasion, whereupon the loyal member of 
Sigma, warmly resenting the insulting proposal of the 
rival Fraternity, retorted : "Sir ! you shall see the day 
of our prosperity ! Wie shall exist as long as you, for 
more than one hundred men have sworn it in different 
parts of our land !" Sigma Chapter has long since 
arrived at the top of the hill, both literally and figura- 
tively, and its rivals have learned the truth of that 
earnest prophecy. 

The first Fraternity established at Waterville as a 
rival of A K E was Zeta Psi in 1850. In the years 
between 1846 and 1850 there were various attempts 
and still more frequent rumors of attempts to organize 
a rival Society. In a letter from Mark H. Bunnell, Xi, 
'49, March 15, 1848, the following interesting little 
incident is related: "Mr. Townsend, the gentleman 
of color in our college, took a very decided stand 
against our Society. He wrote to many colleges in the 
United States for a Chapter of some secret society to 
act as a rival to the A K E. He failed in all his 
efforts and finally formed a clique of his own choice. 
It held a meeting a few evenings since in his room. 



46 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

The order of exercises were a pack of cards and a 
bottle of brandy. At the close of the exercises, when 
they were fully imbued with a spirit more ardent than 
intellectual, they received very unexpectedly a call 
from Prof. Loomis. He found them quite humble; 
and Jonas, the Prince of Darkness, has since gradu- 
ated — with what honors I will not say." In justice to 
Zeta Psi it should be stated that it does not claim to 
date its existence at Waterville from this event. 

A letter from Phi Chapter, May 30, 1848, states 
that the first movement to establish a Chapter at Har- 
vard had been given up because it was found that 
such a Chapter could not be established ''without per- 
mitting the Legislature of Massachusetts to overlook 
our constitution. This is the law at Harvard and we 
think our other Chapters will sustain us in refusing to 
agree to such a condition." 

In 1848 there was a scare among the Fraternities at 
Bowdoin over Faculty opposition which for a time 
made their future very problematical. The apprehen- 
sions of Theta must have been expressed with consid- 
erable earnestness in its letters to the other Chapters, 
for in replies received from the Chapters at Yale, 
Amherst and Nashville there are the most solicitous 
prayers for the safety of Theta, mingled with impreca- 
tions upon the Faculty for its attitude, and appeals to 
the members of the Chapter to "stand by the gallant 
vessel as long as she can show a rag of canvas to the 
gale and if needs be go down with her with colors 
nailed to the mast." There is scarcely need to record 
the fact that the storm proved a small affair which 



EARLY CORRESPONDENCE. 47 

I 

soon blew over, but it was enough of a crisis to bring 
out the mettle of the young Chapter and the strength 
of the Fraternity bond. 

In a letter from the Amherst Chapter, October 19, 
1849, the following story is told of one of its ancient 
rivals : "They attempted to produce an impression in 
their favor among the new members of the college by 
persuading some young ladies to wear their badge at 
the president's levee. But alas ! the poor fellows 
overshot the mark and their dishonorable conduct only 
served to disgust those whom it was designed to 
attract. The whole affair was a most ludicrous one, 
both in its progress and consequences." 

No chapter in those early days sent longer or more 
interesting letters than Gamma at Nashville, and one 
of the best of its correspondents was Henry Maney, 
Jr., '50. In the last of his letters, March 5, 1850, he 
describes most vividly the opposition which Gamma, 
the only Fraternity at Nashville, had to endure, an 
opposition which went so far that half the students in 
the college formed an ''Anti-Delta Association" with 
the avowed purpose of killing the Chapter. But 
"Gamma has stood calm and majestic amid this storm 
of hatred and unjust persecution. Firm and unyield- 
ing as the deep-bedded rock of Gibralta has been her 
position. The fury of the opposing blast has now 
vented its vain and empty force. The shock only 
recoiled upon the head of the opposition which shud- 
dered, rocked and finally exploded." 

There is a letter from Phi dated May i, 1850, which 
makes it plain that it was a communication written to 



48 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Phi by Trueman S. Perry, Theta, '50, which set on 
foot the movement which resulted in the estabhshment 
of Upsilon Chapter at Brown in the following July. 
The first letter from Upsilon was written September 
16, 1850. 

Among the letters preserved in the files of 1851 are 
one from Phi suggesting that the Fraternity procure a 
block for the Washington monument; one from 
Upsilon relating how the chapter of Beta Theta Pi at 
Brown became a chapter of Alpha Delta Phi ; one from 
Alpha Chapter at Harvard, November 14, announcing 
its organization, a week earlier, and stating that Perry, 
Theta, '50, then studying at Harvard, had declined to 
join it ; one from Psi Chapter, Alabama, in response to 
an appeal from Theta for a poet for the coming Con- 
vention, declaring that Psi had ''no poet among its 
members whom it would do to trust so far from 
home;" four other letters fromi Psi which suddenly 
became one of the best correspondents after failing to 
write at all for the first three or four years of its exist- 
ence; one from the young Chi Chapter, Mississippi, 
blaming the mails for miscarrying its earlier letters 
and promising tO' send a delegate to the coming Con- 
vention at Brunswick, and one from Gamma Chapter, 
Nashville, seeking light as to the extent to which the 
Fraternity obligation bound members to support each 
other in class and general society elections. No fewer 
than fourteen letters were received from the Phi Chap- 
ter, that year, many of them of much length. Evi- 
dently the General Catalogue of the Fraternity does the 
inactive Delta Chapter, South Carolina, an injustice in

giving the date of its establishment as May 5, 1852, 
for the files of Theta show a letter from Delta, dated 
December 29, 1851, giving the Chapter officers and 
discussing the proposed general Convention. 

Thus we have glanced at a few of the scores of 
interesting letters received from the sister Chapters in 
the first half dozen years. The letter files of Theta 
are rich in priceless historical material relating to that 
early period. For each of those years there are a 
score or more letters preserved. In 185 1, the year last 
mentioned above, there were forty letters received 
from other Chapters. In 1852 there were forty- four; 
in 1853, forty-one; in 1854, thirty-three; in 1855, 
seventy-six; in 1856, sixty-three; in 1857, sixty; in 
1858, eighty-six; in 1859, sixty-three; in i860, eighty, 
and in 186 1, seventy-five. These are all preserved in 
the files, and so on down through the war period from 
whose correspondence extracts are given on subse- 
quent pages. 

One of the brightest pages in the history of Theta 
Chapter is that upon which is written the record of its 

sons in the Civil War. Seventy-three 
THETA brothers whose names are upon its rolls 

IN THE bore arms in that great conflict, seventy of 

CIVIL WAR. them fighting for the perpetuation of the 

Union and three in the armies of the South. 
Reserving for a later mention the three in the Confed- 
erate service, let us review in brief summary the 
services of the seventy who answered their country's 
call. Forty-six of them were graduate members, 
ranging from Case, '48, to five members of the delega- 

4 



50 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

tion of '62 ; sixteen left College to enlist in the army, 
several returning later to complete their courses; and 
no fewer than eight were in the service before entering 
College and becoming members, the latest of these to 
graduate being George M. Seiders, '''J2, the present 
attorney general of Maine. 

Of these seventy, eleven were killed in battle or died 
of wounds. They were Capt. I. W. Case, '48; Lieut. 
R. C. Thompson, '49; Major C. P. Chandler, '54; 
Lieut. Col. T. A. Henderson, '55; Private S. C. 
Charles, '58; Lieut. H. P. Brown, '60; Capt. W. L. 
Haskell, '60; Capt. W. M. Morrell, '61; Paymaster 
S. O. Frye, '64 ; Private H. P. Knight, '65, and Lieut. 
E. S. Rogers, '65. 

Such is Theta's honor roll in the Civil War, but the 
mere statement of members of the list of those who 
gave their lives in the service cannot tell all the story. 
Bowdoin was not so seriously crippled by the war as 
were many colleges, but the echoes of the conflict 
shook its halls and the battle smoke clouded all its 
activities. The Chapter records for those years show 
this, if any evidence were needed. The only lapses 
in the records for all these sixty years occur while the 
war was raging, and the subjects for debate were 
almost invariably connected with the war. That six- 
teen undergraduate members left College to enlist, 
shows something of the grim reality that the war 
became to the members of Theta and indicates to what 
an extent the war broke into its hitherto peaceful and 
happy existence. We can scarcely conceive at this 
time the excitement that reigned when the great battles 



THETA IN THE CIVIL WAR. 5 1 

were being fought in which the members of the Chap- 
ter knew their brothers were engaged. And what 
sorrow must have weighed the hearts of those assem- 
bled in Theta's hall when the news came of the death 
of those but lately happy brothers among them. 

There is treasured in the archives a letter from 
James P. Jones, Omicron Chapter, Michigan, '56, 
written just after Antietam, telling Theta of the death 
in that battle of Harlan Page Brown and of the mortal 
wound received by William Lewis Haskell, both of the 
delegation of '60. He writes of their splendid bravery 
and of his pride in fighting side by side with such men. 
Of Lieut. Brown he writes : "Under the heaviest fire 
I could see him waving his sword to direct his men, 
and above the din of musketry could distinguish the 
manly tones of his voice cheering and encouraging his 
company. Thus bravely he led on into the valley of 
death.'' Haskell, who was acting adjutant during the 
battle, had three horses shot under him before he was 
himself finally shot through both knees. The writer 
of this letter was a charter member of Omicron Chap- 
ter, and was himself killed in battle, July 14, 1864. It 
may be added that when the remains of Capt. Haskell 
were brought to his home in Yarmouth for burial, the 
Chapter attended in a body. 

Then there was the incident connected with the 
death of Lieut. Rogers, '65, at Cold Harbor, which was 
one of a thousand to prove that the conflict between the 
sections could not sever the bond of brotherhood 
between the members of the Fraternity wherever meet- 
ing. After he fell mortally wounded in that most 



52 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

desperate charge of all the war, a Confederate officer 
came upon him and seeing the pin of A K E upon his 
breast knelt beside him andl clasped his hand in the 
grip so dear to both. The southern Deke remained 
with him to the end, doing all in his power to make his 
last hours more comfortable, and when all was over he 
sent the last messages of the dying boy to his home in 
northern Maine and with them his A K E pin and 
other mementoes which are to this day priceless relics 
treasured by his relatives. 

The record of each of the seventy sons of Theta who 
bore arms for the Union cause is given in brief in 
connection with the biographical sketches later in this 
volume. Fifty-two of them won the rank of commis- 
sioned officers, and all of them rendered gallant and 
distinguished service which reflects immortal glory 
upon their Fraternity, their College and their State. 
The one to win highest rank was General Charles P. 
Mattocks, '62, who again became a brigadier general 
of volunteers in the Spanish-American War. In the 
pages of ''Bowdoin in the War" we find many tributes 
to their valor and their faithful service. Their names, 
except in a few cases of non-graduates, are upon the 
bronze tablets in Memorial Hall which thrill and 
inspire successive generations of Bowdoin men. No 
other Fraternity at Bowdoin sent so many sons to the 
war or has such a glorious war record to boast of; 
and this is as it should be, since our Fraternity at large 
was represented much more numerously and more 
prominently in the armies of both the North and the 
South than any of its rivals. 



THETA IN THE CIVIL WAR. 53 

As stated earlier, three members of Theta were in 
the Confederate service and fought against the Union. 
Two of them were killed in battle. The three were 
Charles E. Butler, '50, who had been a teacher in the 
South ten years when the war broke out and threw his 
fortunes with that section ; John F. Shaw, '55, who 
was also a teacher in the South and who was killed in 
battle in 1863 ; and Robert McK. Spearing, '57, of 
New Orleans, one of the most brilliant and popular 
men of his class, who won the rank of a colonel and 
gave up his life at Fredericksburg. Another member, 
Joseph N. Metcalf, '60, a native of Kentucky, raised a 
company of volunteers for the Confederate army and 
was elected first lieutenant of the same ; but owing to 
the urgent appeals of his father who was a native of 
Maine and a strong Union man in spite of thirty years 
residence in southern Kentucky, he resigned and with- 
drew from the army without engaging in active ser- 
vice. 

Although not a part of Theta's record in the Civil 
War, it may not be out of place to mention here the 
case of George E. Lord, '66, one of several members 
who have held commissions in the regular army in 
later years. For five years he was assistant surgeon 
on the staff of General Custer and with him went 
down to death in the terrible massacre of the Little 
Big Horn, June 25, 1876. 

What the Civil War period meant to our Fraternity, 
with its many strong Chapters in Southern colleges, is 
indicated by the letter files of Theta. The Southern 
Chapters were particularly prompt and cordial in their 



54 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

correspondence in the ante-bellum days. They were 
intensely loyal to the Fraternity and active in its affairs. 
They were heard from as usual in i860, and from some 
of them letters were received in 1861 ; and then came 
the significant silence, unbroken for years, which told 
of college doors closed and Chapters in a body march- 
ing to battle. There is much to stir the blood in those 
last letters. 

Chi Chapter, Mississippi, wrote March 9, i860: 
"May the bonds which unite us never be ruthlessly 
sundered by the political din which now disturbs our 
unhappy land. We love your North and hope you do 
our South. We hope that these commotions may soon 
cease." In January, 1861, the same Chapter wrote: 
"In these sectional times the North and South are 
widely separated, but this should have no effect on 
A K E. Our glorious union should never be dis- 
severed or the strong bonds that unite us be broken 
asunder." Within a year, the seven Chapter officers 
mentioned in the first of these letters were all in the 
Confederate service, as is shown by the General Cata- 
logue of the Fraternity, and the writer had been killed 
in battle. 

A letter from Eta Chapter, Virginia, January 6, 
i860, urges Theta to write more frequently, and dwells 
upon the flourishing condition of the Chapter and its 
fine prospects; yet within a year the Chapter was 
inactive and all of the seven oflicers mentioned in the 
letter were in the Southern army. The last letter 
before the war from Beta Chapter, North Carolina, 
has not a word about the sectional strife, but dwells at 



CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 55 

length upon the advantages which it expects from the 
recent election of two honorary members. 

Omega Chapter, Oakland College, Mississippi, 
wrote January 31, 1 861, of its plans for "a jolly time 
and a grand A K E demonstration at our May com- 
mencement," and urging Theta to send a representa- 
tive if such a thing were possible. No letter ever 
came to tell of the success of the jolly time and the 
demonstration, but within a year the Chapter had gone 
in a body into the Confederate service, and the writer 
of that letter had died in a Southern army hospital. 
In the same month. Kappa Psi Chapter, Cumberland 
University, Tennessee, wrote its emphatic opposition 
to a proposition of Delta Chapter, South Carolina, that 
the Southern Chapters should sever their connection 
with those of the North, declaring "We are unable to 
see why the action of political demagogues should 
influence or injure our great Fraternity." 

Three general Conventions of the A K E Frater- 
nity have been held with Theta Chapter at Bowdoin in 
1852, 1858 and 1869 respectively. In 
CONVENTIONS these later years, with our Fraternity 
*^^^^ such a national institution, it has been 

WITH THETA. ., , . , , ^ 

impossible to induce the Convention to 
meet in so remote a corner of the Union as Maine. 
Moreover, to the modern Convention is attached an 
imposing series of social functions hardly possible of 
realization in a small college town. But it is hoped 
that these difficulties may be overcome, and that in the 
near future delegates from all the forty or more Chap- 



56 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

ters of our great Fraternity — Dekes from Canada and 
the Gulf states, from Minnesota and California — may 
gather in Convention upon Bowdoin's historic campus 
and around the hospital hearthstone of Theta's beauti- 
ful home. 

The first Convention of the Fraternity, as has been 
related earlier met at New Haven, December 23, 1846, 
when the only Chapters were those of Yale, Bowdoin, 
Princeton, Colby and Amherst. From then until 1852 
no Convention was held, all matters of legislation, 
constitutional changes, the establishment of new Chap- 
ters, etc., being settled by means of the voluminous 
correspondence maintained. At a meeting of Theta 
Chapter, November 6, 1850, it was voted *'to ascertain 
the opinion of the other Chapters as to a general Con- 
vention." Nothing came of this, however, and a year 
later the agitation for a second general Convention of 
the Fraternity was renewed by Theta. 

A letter was sent to Phi urging it to take into 
"earnest and immediate consideration" the advisability 
of holding a Convention of the Fraternity with Theta 
during the year. This time the idea was more favor- 
ably received, and a letter came back from Yale, dated 
October 25, 1851, in which the writer said: "We 
have most heartily seconded your wishes ; glad of the 
opportunity, we having had one Convention here, to 
favor one of our oldest and most prosperous Chapters." 
This letter was followed by another, November i, in 
which was given a copy of resolutions passed by Phi. 
These resolutions were in substance that "a Convention 
of the A K E Fraternity be held at Bowdoin College 



CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 57 

with our Theta Chapter at their next Commencement, 
in order to promote still further the kindly feeling 
already existing among us, and to transact matters of 
business with regard to the constitution and other 
matters better done in a general meeting than by writ- 
ing; that each Chapter be urged to send as many dele- 
gates as possible, and that each Chapter have but one 
vote in matters of business." 

The details of the coming Convention were all left 
with Theta, and John White Chickering, '52, Luther 
Puffer, '53, Henry Hyde Smith, '54, and Thomas 
Albert Henderson, '55, were appointed a committee to 
have these details in charge. A letter came from Phi, 
November 29, asking for "the precise day of the Con- 
vention," and urging that "a continual ferment" be 
kept up "so that on the glorious occasion of our 
gathering at your College all our Chapters may be 
tremendously represented." The time selected was 
Commencement week, 1852, being the first week of 
September and being also the time for which Bowdoin 
was planning a grand celebration of the semi-centen- 
nial of its opening. 

But although the Convention was thus determined 
upon almost a year in advance, the time proved to be 
none too long for securing an Orator and Poet. At 
first the home Chapter felt confident it could supply 
them from its own alumni, but one brother after 
another whom it wrote to felt unequal to the task and 
modestly declined the honor. Next an appeal was 
made to Phi which recommended several of its alumni, 
but they too felt obliged to decline. Then a general 



58 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

appeal was made to the other Chapters, and a drag-net 
was thrown out for any alumnus suspected of oratorial 
or poetic ability sufficient to warrant his appearance 
before a A K E Convention. Finally both Orator 
and Poet were secured from among Theta's young 
alumni. Trueman S. Perry, '50, consented to be the 
Poet of the Convention, but a few days before it was 
held he sustained a severe accident, almost a fatal one, 
in fact, which prevented him from attending; so there 
was no poem after all. The Orator was Isaac W. 
Case, '48, then a teacher, who gave his life for his 
country before Port Hudson, a decade later. 

No records of that Convention have been preserved 
and so we cannot give the names of its officers or 
delegates, or any particulars as to the business trans- 
acted. There are still living a few who were present 
at its sessions and they agree in the statement that 
there was a large attendance and that it was consid- 
ered a very successful Convention. It is not to be 
expected that their memories would retain for over 
half a century many details of such a gathering. 
There were then fourteen active Chapters in the Fra- 
ternity, four of them being less than a year old, and 
several of those in New England sent large delega- 
tions. 

The second Convention to meet at Bowdoin was that 
of 1858, six years later. This was in reality the 
seventh Convention to be held, but as it was the 
thirteenth year after the founding of the Fraternity it 
was denominated the thirteenth Convention, and sub- 
sequent Conventions have been numbered on that basis. 



CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 59 

The delegates were in Brunswick, August 3, 4 and 5, 
and their sessions were held in the same hall where the 
Convention of 1852 had met. The minutes of this 
Convention are the earliest on file with the A K E 
Council in New York, and from them we get a good 
idea of the proceedings. The delegates first met in 
the hall of Theta, Tuesday evening, August 3, and 
spent a good part of the night in listening to reports 
from the various Chapters. At this first meeting 
thirteen of the twenty-seven Chapters then existing 
were represented, and during the night and next day 
numerous delegates representing other Chapters 
arrived, but the whole number of Chapters represented 
at the Convention is not given in the minutes. 

The Convention was called to order at eight o'clock 
the next morning by Clifford S. Belcher, Theta, '57. 
At the Convention held at Brown, the previous year, 
a member of Theta, Enos T. Luce, '56, now Jud^e 
Luce of Waltham, Mass., had been made President; 
and at this Convention, held at Bowdoin, a member of 
Upsilon Chapter at Brown, John B. Brackett, '57, was 
elected President. The Vice Presidents were Mark 
Pitman, Theta, '59, and Francis H. Hurd, Lambda 
Chapter, Kenyon College, '58 ; while W. H. Anderson, 
Phi, '59, and David R. Straw, Theta, '59, were made 
Secretaries. 

The day was filled with business. Various consti- 
tutional amendments were proposed ; a member of the 
Chapter at Middlebury, who had been expelled and 
had later joined Sigma Chapter at Amherst, was 
declared, after a long discussion, not to be a member of 



6o THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

the Sigma Chapter; a graduate pin, in the form of a 
scroll was adopted; the A K E March was ordered 
published; the troubles of the Alpha Chapter at Har- 
vard were given the usual airing that occupied the 
attention of so many Conventions, before and after 
that time; and the minutes contain a vague reference 
to a statement by W. E. Foster of Phi '60, "about an 
illegally formed Chapter at Macon College, Georgia." 
The public exercises of the Convention were held in the 
Congregational church. The Orator was Anson 
Burlingame, an honorary member of Sigma Chapter, 
Amherst, who was then a member of Congress from 
Massachusetts and who was later United States 
ambassador to China; and the Poet was Hamilton J. 
Dennis of Omicron Chapter, Michigan, '58. The 
Convention adjourned to meet the next year with 
Lambda Chapter at Kenyon College, Ohio. 

The third and latest Convention to be held with 
Theta was the twenty-third, which met in Brunswick, 
October 6 and 7, 1869. The Chapter had moved, three 
years earlier, to its second hall, near the railroad 
track, and here the sessions of the Convention were 
held. The Civil War had made tragic ravages in the 
Fraternity, rendering inactive half a score of Southern 
Chapters, so that there were fewer active Chapters, 
despite the new charters that had been granted, than 
when the Convention had met in Brunswick, eleven 
years earlier. There was a good attendance, several 
of the nearest Chapters sending large delegations. 

The Convention was called to order by J. W. Keene, 
Theta, '70; and R. W. Hickox, Alpha, Harvard, 'y2, 



CONVENTIONS HELD WITH THETA. 6l 

was made temporary chairman, and D. S. Alexander, 
Theta, '70, now a New York congressman, temporary 
secretary. The committee on permanent organization 
was made up of L. h. Hubbard, Alpha, '72 ; D. S. 
Alexander, Theta, '70, and L. W. Hicks, Phi, 'ji. 
Permanent officers were elected as follows: President, 
W. R. Brown, Sigma, '69 ; Vice President, I. H. Ford, 
Phi, '71 ; Secretary, WA E. Frost, Theta, yo ; Assistant 
Secretary, J. D. Williamson, Beta Chi, Western 
Reserve, '70. The last named officer was the delegate 
from the baby Chapter, as Beta Chi had then been 
established less than a year. 

That a strong spirit of conservatism had now taken 
possession of the Fraternity is shown by the fact that 
this Convention promptly rejected three applications 
for charters. The case of Cornell was considered more 
favorably and a committee was appointed to investi- 
gate conditions at that newly founded institution. As 
a result of its investigations. Delta Chi Chapter was 
established and answered to its name when the twenty- 
fourth Convention was held at Providence, a year later. 
One incident of the business sessions was the election 
of six honorary members for Theta Chapter, as related 
on an earlier page. Since that time, thirty-five years 
ago, the number of Theta's honorary members has not 
been added to. 

The public exercises of the convention were held in 
the Baptist Church and were presided over by Hon. 
Josiah H. Drummond of Portland, Colby, '46, the 
beloved founder of Xi Chapter. The Orator was 
George Pratt of Norwich, Conn., Phi, '57, and the Poet 



62 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

was Charles C. Puffer of Rochester, N. Y., Beta Phi 
Chapter, Rochester, '63. Music was furnished by the 
Germania Band of Boston. At the conclusion a ban- 
quet was held at the Tontine Hotel, the memory of 
which still fires the hearts of those who were there. 
One of them, since a prominent legislator, writes of it, 
^^Although Maine is a Prohibition State, and at that 
time no liquors were ever used in the College, yet I 
fear before we adjourned, at two o'clock in the morn- 
ing, one at least of those who were to respond to toasts, 
had fallen under the table. How many others were 
there, deponent saith not, for he possibly was not in a 
condition to observe the actions of others. The last 
thing which I remember about that Convention, which 
was a notable one in many respects, was that three of 
us, about four o'clock in the morning, were striving to 
get up Maine street (which is 200 feet wide) singing 

Hail to loved A K E, 
Honored her name shall be 

Till time shall end; 
Vain every rival's arts; 
Frustrate all hostile darts; 
Proudly our loyal hearts 

To her shall bend. 

I cannot swear that we ever reached College. It is 
said that this one and only departure from staid New^ 
England habits was due to the fact that the Harvard 
Chapter was represented by a full delegation, and that 
the members of that illustrious order joined with the 
Yale Chapter to initiate the rural youths of Maine. 
Looking back upon it after having had nearly thirty

years in which to get sober, I am inclined to think that 
report had it right." 

When Theta Chapter of A K E was estabHshed at 
Bowdoin in 1844, two intercollegiate Fraternities were 
already represented there, Alpha Delta 
OUR SISTER Phi, dating from 1841, and Psi Upsilon, 
FRATERNITIES, dating from 1843. And at old Bow- 
doin, as at many other leading colleges, 
while other Fraternities have come and gone, these 
three ancient rivals have lived and prospered side by 
side. Both these other Chapters, like Theta in A K E 
have always been counted among the strongest 
in their respective Fraternities. A Chapter of Chi Psi 
was also established at Bowdoin in 1844 which died 
out in the late 'sixties. Tradition tells us that Chi Psi 
was the "sporty" Fraternity of its time, and that a visit 
to its hall in its declining years disclosed a punch 
bowl as the only article of furniture remaining intact. 
However this may be, it is certain that on the rolls of 
the extinct Chapter are the names of some of the men 
of whom Bowdoin is proudest — Chief Justice Fuller, 
the late Speaker Reed, General Hubbard, General 
Hyde, Judge Putnam, the Fessendens, Joseph Wil- 
liamson and others. It seems a pity that this Chapter 
was not revived in later years when new Fraternities 
were being established at the College. 

Theta Delta Chi established a Charge at Bowdoin 
in 1854, which became inactive five or six years later. 
In 1874 it was revived and has since been strong and 
prosperous. A Chapter of Delta Upsilon, then known 
as a non-secret Fraternity, was established at Bowdoin 



64 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

in 1857, the leaders in the movement being three or 
four students who had resigned from membership in 
Alpha Delta Phi. The Chapter became inactive within 
a year or two, but over a third of a century later, in 
1893, a new chapter of Delta Upsilon was established 
which has since prospered. The Bowdoin Chapter of 
Zeta Psi dates from 1867, when Chi Psl was going out 
of existence. It was established mainly through the 
efforts of George L. Chandler, '68, who had been a 
member of Zeta Psi at Colby, where there had been a 
Chapter of the Fraternity since 1850. 

After Zeta Psi no new intercollegiate Fraternity 
appeared at Bowdoin for a quarter of a century; 
though the local Sophomore society Phi Chi rose in 
glory and fell in darkness, leaving behind in song and 
tradition an imperishable memory. Then came the 
re-establishment of Delta Upsilon in 1893, as men- 
tioned above, followed by Chapters of Kappa Sigma in 
1895 3.nd Beta Theta Pi in 1900. Thus there are now 
eight Chapters of intercollegiate Fraternities at Bow- 
doin, all flourishing and facing only bright prospects. 
Five of them occupy Chapter Houses of which four 
were built for the purpose ; and of the remaining three, 
at least one will have a Chapter House in the immediate 
future. 

With its sister Fraternities the relations of Theta 
have been on the whole most friendly, particularly in 
these later years. In early times there was keener 
competition with more activity and feeling entered into 
it ; and doubtless then, very much more frequently than 
now, a member of a Fraternity forgot the welfare of 



OUR SISTER FRATERNITIES. 65 

the College at large and the strict principles of personal 
honor in his zeal to injure or defeat a rival Fraternity. 
That this was true at other colleges than Bowdoin is 
shown by scores of letters still preserved. In fact, it 
is very doubtful if the bitterness of rivalry was ever 
carried to the extent at Bowdoin that prevailed at some 
other colleges. 

In those early years, the election of officers for the 
general literary societies, the Peucinian and the 
Athenaean, which thrived at Bowdoin for two-thirds 
of the 19th century, was a bone of contention over 
which the Fraternities lined up for battle. On those 
occasions there were frequent alliances between two 
Fraternities ; and in the records we find many instances 
along through the 'fifties where Theta Chapter voted to 
combine with another Fraternity — almost invariably 
with Psi Upsilon, though occasionally Chi Psi or Theta 
Delta Chi figured in the arrangement — for a division 
of the important offices. Committees of conference 
were appointed which reported slates for discussion in 
the meetings. No doubt, such alliances were met by 
counter alliances, or possibly were the result of some 
hostile demonstration on the part of the others. 
Unhappily in more modern times, there have been 
occasional instances of alliances or selfish partisanship 
in the election of class officers or in athletic affairs, but 
they have become more and more rare until any bad 
influence which Fraternities may exert in such matters 
has been thoroughly minimized at Bowdoin. 

In the matter of securing new members there was 
also undoubtedly more strenuous rivalry in the old 



66 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

times than in our day and generation. The term "fish- 
ing" as used in this connection at Bowdoin is old as the 
Fraternities themselves. We find it first used in the 
records of Theta, October 5, 1850, when two members 
were thanked "for services in the line piscatorial." 
And what piscatorial artists there have been since that 
day! 

Several times attempts have been made to have the 
various Fraternities agree not to fish or pledge new stu- 
dents until after a stipulated time during Freshman 
year. The first such attempt referred to in the records 
was in 1857 ^^^ 3, dozen have followed it at varying 
intervals, but none of them has accomplished anything. 
In several instances Theta Chapter has been the one 
to advance the proposition and it has never failed 
through any fault of this Chapter. Knowing its 
strength, it has realized that, in the vast majority of 
cases, it could get the new men desired, however fierce 
the competition; and that, on the other hand, it had 
nothing to lose and much to gain, if the Freshmen 
were allowed to wander around undisturbed for a term 
or two getting unprejudiced opinions of the Fra- 
ternities. 

There have been several instances among the Bow- 
doin Fraternities where a man ceased to be a member 
of one, through resignation or expulsion, and became a 
member of another. Thus, as related elsewhere, a 
member of Theta, from the class of '51, left A K E 
"with the benediction of all concerned," and later 
joined Alpha Delta Phi. Then we have seen how the 
Chapter of Delta Upsilon was first established by men 



OUR SISTER FRATERNITIES. (>^ 

who resigned from Alpha Delta Phi. About that 
time another member of Alpha Delta Phi, in the class 
of '60, resigned from that Fraternity and joined Chi 
Psi. One of the earliest members of Theta Delta Chi 
was a member of the class of '54, who had left Psi 
Upsilon. Theta Chapter has one member upon its 
rolls who had earlier been a member of another Fra- 
ternity at Bowdoin, in the person of Edward W. 
Thompson, '56. Of this brother it is recorded : ''This 
highly honored member of our Fraternity first joined 
the Theta Delta Chi, but was expelled during his Jun- 
ior year for causes which we did not deem sufficient. 
Universally sustained in his course, and with a hearty 
welcome, he was initiated into A K E, July 17, 1855." 

As indicated on an earlier page, the members of 
Theta Chapter were more intimate in the early years 
with those of Psi Upsilon than with the other Fra- 
ternities. There w^ere several joint banquets, or, at 
least informal spreads, of these two Fraternities, dur- 
ing the 'sixties. They were held in the anterooms of 
the respective halls and were probably occasions lon'g- 
remembered by those present. In more recent years, 
the Dekes and the members of Theta Delta Chi — long 
the joint occupants of Appleton Hall — have been on 
particularly cordial terms, and their baseball gam.e, 
with the following "feed" at a nearby shore resort has 
become a feature of each Spring term. 

Theta Chapter of A K E has no quarrel with any 
of the other Fraternities at Bowdoin. It respects them 
all and does not mean to give any of them reason to 
diminish the respect they all feel toward it. It is

always anxious to work hand in hand with them for \ 

the good of the College they all love. Its feeling and ; 

its attitude are well shown in the following song, \ 

"When Theta Cheers the Ends," by Arthur Hunting- \ 

ton Nason, '99, which its members often sing as they i 
march across the campus and by the Chapter Houses, 

on initiation night, and after the spread to the retiring -;

ment of Beta Theta Pi. i

TWO DEATHS IN THE ANDROSCOGGIN, 69 

In the spring of 1859, the suicide of Howard Abbott 
by drowning in the Androscoggin river threw a gloom 
over the Chapter and the College. The 
TWO DEATHS yc>i^^& ^3-^ was a member of the class of 
IN THE '60, was a scholar of much ability and 

ANDROScoQGiN.was much liked by his associates. Dur- 
ing his Junior year he evinced at times 
signs of mental derangement, and there were great 
apprehensions among his friends when he was missed, 
Saturday, May 21, 1859. The following day a letter 
was found in his room addressed to his father, Hon. 
Nehemiah Abbott of Belfast. This was opened and in 
it was found an avowal of his intention to commit sui- 
cide. The students immediately assembled and 
divided themselves into small parties for the purpose 
of searching the neighboring woods. College exer- 
cises were suspended and wide interest was aroused in 
the fate of the unfortunate student. The search of the 
surrounding country being unsuccessful, it was 
decided to drag the river, and on the third day the 
body was recovered a short distance below the bridge. 
His shawl, such as was commonly worn by young men 
of that period, was found on some logs near the shore 
where he had discarded it when he walked out to his 
death. Services were held in King Chapel where a 
psalm was sung followed by a prayer by Prof. Egbert 
C. Smyth. A delegation from the Chapter and one 
from the Junior class accompanied the remains to Bel- 
fast and attended the funeral services in that city. 

Forty-two years later there was a similar sad cere- 
mony in the Chapel over the body of a member of 



70 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

A K E whose life had been lost in the waters of the 
Androscoggin. In the latter case, however, the 
tragedy was the result of the overturning of a canoe. 
The victim was John Prescott Webber, Jr., of the class 
of 1903, a young man of exceptional promise, and one 
whose nobility of character had won him a brother's 
truest love from every member of the Chapter. While 
canoeing. May i, 1901, with a member of his delega- 
tion, J. S. Bradstreet, the craft became unmanageable 
and was overturned. Bradstreet succeeded in reach- 
ing the shore, but Webber was quickly swept away by 
the current, which was very swift at that point, and 
never again seen alive. For days the river was drag- 
ged for the body, but it was not recovered until over 
two weeks later when it was found several miles below 
the scene of the accident. It was taken to the Chapter 
House, then in the first year of its occupancy, in whose 
erection and furnishing the young man had taken great 
interest, and to which he had been a most generous 
contributor. 

At noon of the following day, Saturday, Alay 18, to 
the tolling of the Chapel bell and escorted by the mem- 
bers of Theta Chapter, with the members of the 1903 
delegation acting as bearers, the lifeless form of the 
dead brother was taken to King Chapel where the 
whole student body had assembled. The brief but 
intensely impressive service was conducted by Presi- 
dent Hyde and the hymn, "Just As I Am," was sung 
by a special choir. The entire student body by classes 
escorted the body to the station, the members of A K E 
marching on either side of the hearse and immedi- 



THREE NAMES BLOTTED OUT. 7I 

ately behind it. Every head was uncovered and it 
was the saddest procession of students that has formed 
on the campus in many years. Delegations from the 
class and Chapter accompanied the remains to Bangor 
where interment took place. In the sixty years of 
Theta's existence no fewer than seventeen members 
have died while undergraduates, thirteen of them in 
the first twenty years of the Chapter's life, but the cir- 
cumstances of these two deaths make them stand out as 
particularly sad and memorable. 

There have been three names borne upon the rolls 
of Theta Chapter which are no longer to be found 

there. Their owners were in the delega- 
THREE NAMES tions of '49, '5 1 and '64 respectively, and 
BLOTTED OUT. for rcasous deemed good and sufficient 

by the Chapter, and also presumably by 
themselves, each in turn ceased to be a member of the 
Fraternity. The first had trouble with his fellow mem- 
bers during his Freshman year, and requested a dis- 
missal from the Chapter. He did not formally with- 
draw or resign, but made a written request for what 
was in effect an expulsion. The records show that the 
request was discussed at several meetings and action 
each time deferred. Soon, however, he left College; 
and then some hand scratched from the minutes every 
reference to his name, and erased it completely where 
he had signed the constitution. There is no record of 
his expulsion, but this act and the fact that his name 
does not appear in the early catalogues show that he 
was no longer considered a member. 



72 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

The second likewise found himself in uncongenial 
company; and soon after his initiation, the fee for 
which he never paid, he "left v/ith the benediction of 
all concerned," according to the entry made at the 
time. He remained in College and later in his course 
became a member of Alpha Delta Phi. The third was 
for almost four years a loyal and active member of the 
Chapter, holding the highest office in its gift. In the 
spring of his Senior year he left College and enlisted in 
the army. He deserted from the service, and the 
Chapter, when it learned of this act, considered it a suf- 
ficient ground for his immediate expulsion from the 
Fraternity. Of all the hundreds of members of Theta 
Chapter, only these three have been deemed unworthy 
by their fellow members. They were black sheep in 
the flock. Their names have been stricken from the 
Chapter rolls ; they are not to be found in the General 
Catalogue of the Fraternity, and there is no reason why 
they should appear here or elsewhere in this volume. 
All three have been dead for many years. 

From the first there has prevailed the custom of a 
reunion of the alumni of Theta Chapter at Commence- 
ment time ; and these occasions, 
seni-CENTENNiAL which are arranged to come on 
CELEBRATION. Wednesday evening, are greatly 
enjoyed, both by the alumni members 
who are able to return to College at that time, and by 
the undergraduates. In early times, these reunions, 
referred to in the records as "anniversaries," were 
somewhat formal affairs with an oration and poem ; 
but in later years they have been made less formal 



. SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 73 

gatherings, with the main emphasis on the getting 
together of the old and young members in a jolly 
reunion, with singing, refreshments, impromptu 
speeches and discussions of Fraternity affairs. They 
revive the interest of the graduates, keep strong the 
bonds between them and the active members and are 
in many ways beneficial to the Chapter. 

The most largely attended reunion in the history of 
the Chapter and in some respects the most notable, was 
that of June 2.^], 1894, when the semi-centennial of the 
founding of the Chapter was celebrated. It was par- 
ticularly fortunate for the success of the occasion that 
at this same Commencement the College celebrated the 
centennial of its incorporation, thus ensuring an 
immense gathering of alumni. But to the scores and 
scores of loyal Dekes, old and young, who thronged 
back to the campus not one of the many events that 
crowded the week was more important or pleasant 
than the semi-centennial celebration of Theta Chapter. 
A committee composed of R. H. Baxter, '94, F. W. 
Dana, '94, R. H. Hinkley, '94, H. L. Fairbanks, '95, 
and J. C. Minot, '96, had the arrangements in charge. 
It had been proposed to have a ball and reception 
earlier in the term in honor of the anniversary, but this 
was given up and all energies were devoted to the 
alumni reunion of Commencement week. 

The main feature, of course, was the Wednesday 
evening gathering in the hall, but for the whole week 
the members of A K E were much in evidence, every 
returning graduate being promptly decorated with the 
Fraternity colors and made at home among the boys. 



74 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Before South Appleton was hung the great Fraternity 
flag, 25x18 feet, with its rampant lion against the 
crimson, gold and blue. On Wednesday evening the 
hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and here for two 
hours was as jolly a reunion as Theta ever knew. 
About one hundred and fifty alumni signed the regis- 
ter, representing thirty-eight classes in the Chapter's 
history and fully one-half of the states of the Union. 
There were also present representatives of seven other 
Chapters of A K E, Xi at Colby, Sigma at Amherst, 
Pi at Dartmouth, Nu at the College of the City of New 
York, Beta Phi at Rochester, Gamma Phi at Wesleyan 
and Delta Chi at Cornell. All these were represented 
by graduates living in Maine, and Xi also sent several 
undergraduates. Telegrams of congratulation were 
received from Phi Chapter at Yale, the A K E Asso- 
ciation of New England at Boston, the A K E 
Quarterly, and from a number of alumni. It was a 
source of much regret that of the three charter mem- 
bers of the Chapter still surviving, Goodrich, Emerson 
and Holt, none could be present. 

At about 11.30, P. M., the whole company adjourned 
to the Town Hall, near by, where Robinson, a Portland 
caterer, had prepared the banquet in the court room. 
After the cigars had been passed around, the best part 
of the evening's program began. H. L. Fairbanks, 
'95, presided over the exercises and introduced Hon. 
O. D. Baker, '68, as the Orator of the evening, Judge 
H. S. Webster, '6y, as the Poet and J. C. Minot, '96, as 
the Historian. Their efforts were received with much 
enthusiasm, and then came informal speeches from a 



SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. 75 

few of the alumni ; speeches eulogistic, witty, reminis- 
cent, prophetic ; some full of advce, all full of congrat- 
ulation; all full of love and tender memories of the 
old Chapter ; all ringing with the true ARE spirit. 

The speakers were I. S. Metcalf, '47, Elyria, Ohio; 
Dr. J. M. Eveleth, '48, Hallowell ; Judge S. F. Hum- 
phrey, '48, Bangor; Dr. John A. Douglass, '54, 
Amesbury, Mass. ; Hon. Caleb Saunders, '59, Law- 
rence, Mass. ; Judge Enoch Foster, '64, Bethel ; Hon. 
Joseph A. Locke, '65, Portland; Hon. Stanley Plum- 
mer, '67, Dexter; Hon. Clarence Hale, '69, Portland; 
William E. Frost, '70, Westford, Mass. ; George L. 
Thompson, ^'j'j, Brunswick, and Francis A. Frost, '94, 
Westford, Mass. It was broad daylight before the 
last speech had been made, the last story told, the last 
song sung and the last cheer given. Never before or 
since have so many members of our Fraternity been 
assembled at Bowdoin or elsewhere in Maine, as 
clasped hands in the Mystic Circle when that semi-cen- 
tennial reunion was over. The concluding verses of 
Judge Webster's poem "Our Theta," which have since 
been set to music by that talented woman, Miss Kate 
Vannah of Gardiner, must be given a place here. 

Bright as the light at the dawn of the day, 

Theta, our Theta. 
Fair as the caves where the sea maidens play, 

Theta, our Theta. 
Where is the clime that was blessed by thy birth? 
Was it some region of music and mirth,

THE HALLS OF THETA. 'J'J 

As the memory of the alumnus strays back to his 
undergraduate days in A K E, perhaps it lingers 
longer and more fondly than elsewhere in 
THE HALLS the Chapter hall. Whatever else he has 
OP THETA. forgotten, he still recalls his first entrance 
within those closely guarded portals ; the 
mysteries there imparted and the welcome from the 
heart with which he was received into the fellowship of 
the Fraternity. It was in the Chapter hall that the 
work was done and the training given which proved 
not the least important part of his college course in its 
permanent value. There were fought the forensic 
battles which usually raised the dust within the room, 
but never failed to settle the great problems which 
were vexing the world outside. There were enjoyed 
the "spreads" and ''feeds" which appeal, as do few 
other things to the happy and healthy young collegian. 
There were sung in riotous glee that made the rafters 
tremble, the songs of A K E — sung with more vol- 
ume and heartiness than regard to technique, and with 
much more harmony in the hearts of the singers than 
in the sound of the singing. There was formed the 
Mystic Circle; and there, in short, more than else- 
where were forged the links in the golden chain of 
friendship which endures through all the years and 
which makes the old graduate realize that 

f 

"Earth has no honors bright, 

Friendship no tender light. 

But pale before thy might, 
Loved A K E." 



78 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

The halls of Theta, before it came to its own with 
the building of the Chapter House, were three in num- 
ber, each being occupied in turn for nearly a score of 
years. The first few meetings, as has been related, 
were held in the room of W. F. Jackson, '46, at the 
home of his parents in Brunswick; and then for little 
more than a year the Chapter met in a room engaged 
of a Mr. Cushing. But that was only a temporary 
arrangement, and in August, 1846, a hall was engaged 
upon the third floor of Dunlap Block which continued 
to be the home of the Chapter until 1866. For the 
next twenty years, 1866 to 1886, the Chapter occupied 
a hall over a store, no longer standing, on Maine 
street close to the railroad track. From 1886 until the 
Chapter House was ready for occupancy in the late 
Fall of 1900, the Chapter occupied a hall built for it by 
G. L. Thompson, '77, on the third floor of Boardman 
Block, the building next below the Town Hall. 

The first of these halls, that in the old Dunlap Block 
on the East side of Maine street, where the new Dun- 
lap Block now stands, cost the Chapter the modest 
rental of $20 annually. It was a good sized hall with 
a large ante-room, and when the Chapter moved in it 
indulged the luxury of forty-two yards of carpeting 
for the floor. As one means of protecting and pre- 
serving this carpet, three spittoons were purchased at 
the same time. One of the first entries in the records 
referring to the condition of the hall is that in the 
meeting of July 16, 1851, when "remarks were made 
on the state of the plastering." Evidently the reverb- 
erations of the eloquence which so frequently filled the 



THE HALLS OF THETA. 79 

hall had been too much for the plastering; or possibly 
there had occasionally been other reverberations than 
those caused by the earnest discussions of the ponder- 
ous questions which were considered at each meeting. 

The general Conventions of 1852 and 1858 were held 
in this hall. In preparation for the first of these, 
extensive additions were made to the furnishings. 
Two tables were purchased and incidentally it was 
"voted to restore to its rightful owner the table now 
in the possession of the Society ;" the two sofas were 
purchased which no alumnus of the Chapter fails to 
remember ; and a little later a chandelier was purchased 
at an expense of $25. Before the Convention of 1858 
was held, the ante-room of the hall was carpeted and 
painted. A vote of November 13, 1855, "that a new 
door be procured to the Chapter room and the windows 
be repaired," suggests that the sanctum sanctorum had 
been violently assaulted by outsiders, though this may 
not have been the case. When the Chapter had been 
in this hall ten years, the rent was raised, but the boys 
were so well satisfied with their quarters that they 
"voted to pay double the rent if necessary to keep the 
rooms." The beginning of a library for the Chapter 
hall was made February 2, i860, when it was voted to 
buy a Webster's Dictionary, and from this nucleus has 
grown the library in which the Chapter justly takes 
much pride. Through the years of the war this hall 
continued the meeting place of the Chapter, though in 
i860 and again in 1862 committees were appointed "to 
make arrangements for a new hall." 



80 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

It was not until 1865, however, that arrangements 
for a new hall were made. At the meeting of Sep- 
tember 5, in that year, it was "voted to have the hall 
changed to the new building now being constructed by- 
Mr. Melcher near the railroad crossing, the rent to be 
$65 per year.'^ This building was located below the 
present residence of Prof. Robinson, at the foot of 
Brunswick's solitary little hill ; and that it was a new 
building, lighted by gas and situated nearer the cam- 
pus, was probably a strong argument for the change. 
The actual removal was not made until the following 
Spring ; and the new hall was dedicated on the evening 
of March 31, 1866, with an oration by R. D. Wood- 
man, '66, and the singing of songs and odes written for 
the occasion by G. T. Sumner, '66, J. W. MacDonald, 
'67, and G. M. Bodge, '68. 

As was the case with the previous hall, this one was 
occupied for exactly a score of years. Here the ses- 
sions of the general Convention of 1869 were held, in 
preparation for which about $125 was expended upon 
the hall. In 1867 the chair was purchased which has 
since done faithful service for the presiding officer. 
This was procured in Lewiston at an expense of $28. 
A little later, the large ante-room — where the Kappa 
Chapter of Psi Upsilon was at least once entertained 
in a body — ^was carpeted and papered. The twenty 
years during which this hall over Simpson's store was 
occupied, were particularly prosperous and active times 
for Theta of A K E, a halcyon period of its history. 
There was never a time when its leadership was more 
generally acknowledged or its superiority more mani-

fest. During these years one strong delegation after 
another carried off an even larger proportion of the 
scholarship prizes and honors than had been won dur- 
ing the preceding twenty years, or have been won in 
the twenty prosperous years that have followed. Dur- 
ing this period also, before any other Fraternity at 
Bowdoin had dreamed of such a thing, the Chapter 
House movement was started and carried to all but 
success. 

It was in the Spring of 1886 that the Chapter moved 
to the hall that had been prepared for it on the third 
floor of Boardman Block by G. L. Thompson, ^"jj, and 
here it remained until the Chapter House was ready 
for occupancy, over fourteen years later. This third 
hall was a very pleasant home for the Chapter, though 
usually most uncomfortably crowded on the nights of 
the alumni reunions in June. The ante-room was 
small, and on initiation night the boys appreciated the 
kindness of the dentist who occupied the floor below, 
in placing his reception room at their disposal. How 
distinct in the memory of the young alumni is the 
picture of this hall. The two old sofas across two of 
the corners, and the piano between them; behind one 
sofa the bust of Shakespeare upon a little table and 
behind the other on a similar table a mounted loon, 
much the worse for the ravages of the moths; the 
many delegation pictures upon the walls ; the stack of 
tables and the littered bookcase beside the door to the 
little kitchen ; the recessed platform for the presiding 
officer, with the Fraternity escutcheon in its rear; the 
two supporting rods from the ceiling, often utilized

for acrobatic performances ; the cane seat arm chairs 
fining most of the floor space ; and the worn and faded 
carpet which was usually a subject for animated dis- 
cussion at the alumni reunions, one old graduate no 
sooner remarking that his delegation bought it than 
another would promptly declare that the former's 
might have bought it, but his had paid for it ! 

It is not possible to point to any particular date as 
that on which the idea of possessing a Chapter House 

was first conceived by the members 
CHAPTER HOUSE oi Theta Chapter ; nor is it possible 
MOVEriENT. to point to any particlar man and say 

that he was the originator of the 
movement. To give the full story of the various 
attempts that were made to build a home for the Chap- 
ter, before success was finally achieved, would require 
a volume of larger dimensions than this one. We can 
only relate in the most general way, that the movement 
had it origin in the early 'seventies, almost thirty years 
before the Chapter House became a reality. As far as 
known, the idea of building and owning a house was 
agitated by the members of Theta of A K E long 
before it was considered by any other Fraternity at 
Bowdoin ; and, that being the case, it was eminently 
fitting that our Fraternity should, after many years of 
waiting, be the first one at Bowdoin to build and 
occupy a house of its own. It lessens the distinction 
but little that one of its sister Fraternities had, a year 
or two earlier, moved into a house which it had bought 
and remodelled for its purposes. 



CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 83 

In the early years of the Chapter House movement, 
and in the later years, for that matter, practically all 
the work toward the longed-for end was done by com- 
mittees, sometimes of the undergraduates and some- 
times of the alumni, appointed for the purpose, and so 
the records of the Chapter itself throw little light upon 
what was attempted or accomplished. The first refer- 
ence is in the minutes of the meeting of June i8, 1874, 
when it was voted, ''That a Committee be appointed to 
look after a hall fund." This Committee was com- 
posed of Myles Standish, '75, F. C. Payson, 'j6, and 
John A. Morrill, '"j^. If there were earlier Commit- 
tees they were not mentioned in the records. It is 
worthy of note that at least two of the three members 
of this first Committee remained, through all the years 
that followed, active workers in behalf of the Chapter 
House; and the name of one of them — Franklin C. 
Payson, ''j^ — is more prominently identified with that 
movement than the name of any other alumnus of the 
Chapter. A few others who served on the Chapter 
House Committee, or "Hall" Committee as it was 
called in those years, were: E. H. Hall, '75, William 
Alden, '-j^, G. T. Little, '-jj, T. L. Paine, '78, W. G. 
Davis, '79, and E. G. Spring, '80, several of whom 
have never allowed their interest in the movement to 
flag. 

The idea at that time was not for such a Chapter 
House as was finally built, many years afterwards, but 
rather for a lodge or hall, to be used only for the pur- 
poses of the weekly meetings and to contain little more 
than a meeting hall with the necessary ante-rooms. 



84 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Some years later the idea broadened so that it was 
proposed to have the building also contain quarters for 
the Chapter eating club, but it was not until the move- 
ment was begun which finally ended in success that it 
was planned to have a Chapter House in which a part 
of the members should room. In fact, in the earlier 
years there would have been immediate and effective 
opposition from the College Faculty and governing 
Boards to any proposition that students room off the 
campus in any such building. This opposition, indeed, 
had not wholly died out when our Chapter House was 
finally built, and only the active work of several loyal 
A K E alumni, who were members of the governing 
Boards, overcame it. 

There is no need, even were there room within the 
limits of this history, to dwell at length upon the 
efforts made by the various Committees through the 
'seventies and 'eighties. The movement rose and 
receded regularly every few years, but failure never 
brought lasting discouragement, and each cessation of 
active work found the movement farther advanced 
than the preceding one. Usually the temporary fail- 
ures were due to all important financial reasons, but 
this was not always the case. In one particular 
instance, which many will recall, an active alumni 
Committee had secured pledges for a sufficient amount 
of money, only to find that the alumni and under- 
graduates differed materially in their ideas as to what 
kind of a house should be constructed. The Commit- 
tee felt that it should be a building to contain only the 
Chapter hall, while some of the younger alumni and

the undergraduates were beginning to grasp the 
modern idea of a Chapter House with accommodations 
for a part of the members. This difference of opinion 
somewhat cooled the ardor of the Committee, and 
matters were allowed to rest as they were. This was 
in the middle 'eighties, and a few years later both 
Chapter and Committee approved the plan of building 
a Chapter House alone, without accommodations for 
roomers or boarding club. The designs drawn at that 
time contemplated a building 6i x 29 feet, containing 
a hall 35 X 27 feet. The cost was to be somewhere 
between $3,500 and $6,000, according to the materials 
of which it was composed. The alumni in Boston and 
Portland quickly pledged $1,250, and subscriptions for 
a large part of the balance were received by the com- 
mittee. 

It was a little later that the Chapter considered seri- 
ously the idea of buying the so called Perry House, 
now occupied by Professor Johnson, which was then 
in the market at a most reasonable figure. This was 
a large and attractive dwelling, most conveniently 
located, and would have made a very pleasant Chapter 
House ; but there was too much delay and, before deci- 
sive action was taken, the property had passed into 
other hands. One circumstance which doubtless 
retarded the Chapter House movement \vas the fact 
that for many years the members of the various 
Fraternities have been grouped together in the College 
dormitories. Thus for the past quarter of a century 
or more South Appleton Hall has been known as the 
"Deke End," being occupied almost exclusively by the 



86 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

members of our Fraternity; and there on the upper 
floors the members of the lower delegations still room 
until by right of seniority in the Chapter they can 
occupy rooms in the Chapter House. 

Several times in those earlier years of the Chapter 
House movement a fund had been started to which 
some of the graduates and alumni had contributed, but 
in several instances this fund had been drawn upon for 
other purposes, so that the money did not accumulate 
very rapidly. In the early 'nineties the Chapter began 
the regular assessment of a small Chapter House tax 
upon its members, an assessment which has since been 
continued and has been an important factor in the suc- 
cess of the movement. 

It was in the Winter of 1895-6 that the movement 
began which resulted in the purchase of a lot and the 
building of the Chapter House. Nothing definite or 
aggressive had been done in the matter for several 
years, and it seemed to be time for one of the periodical 
agitations of the subject which had occurred every 
little while for a score of years. This time, however, 
the Fates were more propitious and, although success 
did not come at once, yet this movement, built upon the 
partial successes of the past, suffered no appreciable 
check until the house was built. At the meeting of 
December 6, 1895, ^ ^^w Chapter House Committee 
was appointed, consisting of Preston Kyes, '96, C. H. 
Holmes, '97, and C. S. Pettengill, '98, and authorized 
to investigate the matter of an available lot. As a 
result of this Committee's prompt work, helped much 
by two loyal alumni on the Faculty — Prof. Little, 'yy, 



CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 87 

and Dr. Whittier, '85 — the Newman house and lot, on 
the comer of Maine and College streets, was purchased 
July 16, 1896, in the name of Professor Little as 
Trustee for the Chapter, the consideration being 
$5,000. Of this sum, $1,900 was paid from the Chap- 
ter House fund, which had accumulated, and from the 
money then raised among the undergraduates, and the 
property was mortgaged for the balance. The work 
of interesting the alumni began at once through visits 
of Kyes, '96, to Portland and Boston, and with a con- 
siderable degree of success; but, as had been the case 
before, the graduation of the leading member of the 
Committee caused the movement to lose a little of its 
headway, though it did not this time come to a com- 
plete stop. 

Thanks to the earnestness and zeal of others who 
followed upon this Committee, C. S. Pettengill, '98, 
and F. W. Briggs, '99, deserving special mention 
among the number, the interest of an increasing num- 
ber of the alumni was arroused, and the scheme of 
raising the large sum required for a house gradually 
took definite shape. In 1899, the Committee engaged 
Frazer & Chapman, vv^ell known architects of Boston, 
to draw the plans for such a house as was desired. 
The plans then furnished by this firm were those later 
accepted and upon which the house was built. 

With a large and beautiful lot waiting for the house, 
with these admirable plans on hand, and with the cer- 
tainty that sufficient money could be secured when a 
systematic canvass was made for it by those having 
authority to do the work, the time had now arrived for 



88 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

a formal organization of the alumni to take the work 
out of the hands of the undergraduate Committee and 
make the house a reality. Accordingly, a few young 
alumni, feeling that somebody must go ahead if any- 
thing was to be accomplished, met, September 9, 1899, 
in the office of Williamson & Burleigh, Augusta law- 
yers, and organized the Theta Chapter House Associa- 
tion, a corporation under the general laws of Maine, 
to erect, own and maintain a Chapter House for Theta 
of Delta Kappa Epsilon. 

At this meeting were present: Joseph Williamson, 
'88, L. A. Burleigh, '91, J. C. Minot, '96, F. W. Briggs, 
'99, Cony Sturgis, '99. Williamson was elected Presi- 
dent, and Briggs, Treasurer. The former retained his 
office until the house was built and ready for occu- 
pancy, when he was succeeded by F. C. Payson, 'yd', 
but Briggs resigned a few weeks later, and was suc- 
ceeded as Treasurer by J. C. Minot, '96, who has since 
served in that capacity. The Directors elected were: 
F. C. Payson, '^6, Joseph Williamson, '88, G. T. Little, 
'y^, A. W. Mansur, '^2, F. N. W.hittier, '85, J. C. 
Minot, '96, and R. L. Dana, '01. This list has remained 
unchanged. H. L. Swett, '01, was elected Clerk of 
the corporation. These directors at once held several 
meetings in Brunswick ; the property owned by Pro- 
fessor Little as Trustee was transferred to the Asso- 
ciation, and the scheme of financiering the movement 
was mapped out. 

To make a long story short, once more, the house, 
when finally built and ready for occupancy a year later, 
represented an outlay of practically $30,000, of which, 



CHAPTER HOUSE MOVEMENT. 89 

approximately, $20,000 went for the house itself, 
$5,000 for the lot, and $5,000 for furnishings. Of 
this total of $30,000, the sum of $10,000 was secured 
from the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company of 
Portland on a first mortgage of the property. This 
mortgage has since been transferred to the Augusta 
Savings Bank, which now holds it, and is being 
reduced at the rate of $500 annually, from the income 
of the house. Of the remaining $20,000, about 
$10,000 was contributed by the alumni on an issue of 
second mortgage, profit-sharing bonds, and almost 
$10,000 came from the earlier Chapter House fund, 
from gifts by alumni and undergraduates, and from 
temporary loans. Although at first the financial 
proposition looked formidable and forbidding, it did 
not prove difficult of solution, and our experience as 
pioneers in building a Chapter House at Bowdoin has 
been of great benefit to the other Fraternities there 
which have since built houses of their owti. In all, 
no fewer than 250 of the members of Theta Chapter, 
representing nearly all of the classes in its histor}-, 
contributed money toward the building of the Chapter 
House, making it a monument to the A K E loyalty 
that never dies. 

The house was built in 1900 by Smith & Rumery, 
contractors, of Portland. The historic old house 
which had stood on the lot for generations, was sold 
for $100 and moved away, and the Chapter House was 
built almost exactly upon its site. Work was begun 
in April, and when the alumni returned in large num- 
bers, as usual at Commencement time, the house was

closed in and had assumed shape, so that its appear- 
ance was most satisfactory to all. In addition to the 
directors, a building committee had been appointed, of 
which Walter G. Davis, '79, was chairman, and of 
which several of the directors were members. Of this 
committee. Dr. Whittier, '85, residing in Brunswick 
all the time, was able constantly to watch the progress 
upon the house and attend to a multitude of details. 

When the undergraduates returned to College in 
September the house was so near completion that the 
members of the Senior delegation, in anticipation of 
moving into it, gave up their rooms on the campus and 
roomed outside the College during the Fall term. On 
the night of October 19, 1900, although not quite ready 
for occupancy, the house was used for the purposes of 
the annual initiation, and the members of the 1904 
delegation were received into the fellowship of A K E 
within its walls. A little later in the Fall the house 
was ready for occupancy, the members of the upper 
delegation moved into their rooms, and the eating club 
was transferred to it from the corner of Maine and 
Noble streets, where it had been for several years. 
With what happiness and pride was that transfer 
made ! And suffice it to say, as to the conditions that 
have since prevailed, that nothing has arisen to make 
the house anything but a blessing and benefit to the 
Chapter and to the College ; nothing has occurred to 
give either the builders or occupants regret or embar- 
rassment. On the contrary, in the administration of 
the house, financially and in all other respects, the 
hopes of the most optimistic have been realized and the 



THE HOUSE A REALITY. 9 1 

effects of its possession have been wholly salutary. 
If there were any skeptics or scoffers when Bowdoin's 
first and best Chapter House was built, they have been 
silenced. 

And now, with this brief and imperfect summary of 
the movements which finally resulted in the erection 

of the Chapter's home, let us look at the 
THE HOUSE house itself and its surroundings. In the 
A REALITY, first placc, the lot is without an equal for 

its purposes in the town of Brunswick. 
Its situation is ideal, and its great size, with many 
stately elms bordering it and scattered over it, add 
infinitely to its attractiveness. The house is of the 
Colonial type — the kind, outside and inside, that one 
never tires of, and which is always in fashion, while 
other types of architecture come and go. The picture 
of the house and grounds as given elsewhere in this 
volume, speaks for itself and makes unnecessar}^ any 
description of the exterior. As we go in the front 
entrance we enter a large hall or living room, extend- 
ing through. To the right, on the front, is the library, 
and to the left is the pool room. In the rear of the 
library, and reached by a passage, are two guest rooms. 
Back of the pool room, in the wing, and across the 
passage that leads from the living room to the end 
piazza, is the dining room. 

On this floor there are four fireplaces, in the living 
room, library, pool room and dining room respectively, 
and in the first three of these rooms there are numer- 
ous window seats, cosey corners and inglenooks, which 
add vastly to their attractiveness and comfort. In the 



92 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

living room are many pictures of distinguished alumni 
of the Chapter, convention groups, and other A K E 
Chapter Houses. There are also several groups of the 
active Chapter at different times in recent years, and 
pictures of the officers and directors of the Theta 
Chapter House Association, and the members of the 
building committee. In this room stands the piano 
at the foot of the broad staircase, and on the shelves 
vi^hich flank the capacious back window seat are the 
bound volumes of the various Bowdoin publications, 
also the bound Quarterlies, the catalogues, song books, 
exchange annuals, etc. 

The library is the most beautiful room of the house, 
and the finish, the mantel, the book-cases, the paper, 
the furnishings, and the pictures, are the richest and in 
perfect harmony. The shelves are well filled, thanks 
to the generosity of the alumni brothers ; and not the 
least interesting volumes upon them are the photo- 
graph albums containing individual pictures of all the 
members of the Chapter in recent years. In the corri- 
dors and hall upstairs hang the framed pictures of 
almost every delegation since the early 'sixties. 

The pool room, with its cosey inglenook, is the 
favorite loafing place and smoking room. On the 
walls are mounted deer heads, college banners, and 
many steins and trophies. The dining room is large 
and light, and will comfortably seat half a hundred. 
The tables and chairs in this room were the gift of 
John Prescott Webber, '03, shortly before the accident 
w^hich cost his life. On all the silverware are stamped 



THE HOUSE A REALITY. 93 

the three mystic letters, and on all the china is burned 
the Chapter coat of arms. 

The second floor is reached by a broad staircase 
from the Hving room, and here are suites of rooms for 
fourteen students, also bath rooms, linen closets, etc. 
On the third floor are studies and sleeping rooms for 
six more students, and also the large Fraternity hall. 
In the basement of the house are the kitchen, pantry, 
store room, furnace room, etc. About half the mem- 
bers of the Chapter, that is, those in the upper delega- 
tions, room in the house, but all the undergraduates 
take their meals here and all enjoy its privileges. A 
great part of the furnishings of the house, such as the 
pool table, leather window seat cushions, the heavy 
rugs, the pictures, the clocks, the window screens, and 
ornaments and relics too numerous to mention, were 
generously contributed by loyal alumni. The first dele- 
gation to graduate after the house was occupied, namely 
the delegation of 1901, gave the A K E pin in leaded 
glass in the Fraternity colors, in the circular window 
high over the front entrance. When the incandescent 
lights are glowing behind this window the effect is 
striking as one approaches the house. 

The Chapter House was dedicated with its first great 
gathering of alumni members during Commencement 
week, 1901. The house was of course the head- 
quarters and chief object of interest of all the return- 
ing alumni brothers during the whole week, but the 
reunion came, as usual, on Wednesday evening, and it 
was an occasion to be remembered. It was thoroughly 
informal and as thoroughly delightful. Most of the 



94 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

time was spent in looking over the house, renewing 
old times, meeting the active members, etc., but after 
the refreshments had been served there were an oration 
and poem to give the occasion its fitting literary dig- 
nity. There were present nearly one hundred alumni 
members of the Chapter, and these with the under- 
graduates made a goodly and enthusiastic num^ber to 
tell in song and story and speech the glories of our 
beloved Fraternity. The alumni present represented 
over thirty classes in Theta's history, and it was the 
largest gathering of our alumni on record with the 
exception of that famous semi-centennial reunion in 
1894, which has been told about on a previous page. 

The Orator and Poet of that semi-centennial reunion 
were chosen as the Orator and Poet of the house dedii- 
cation reunion, seven years later, not from any lack of 
orators and poets, but because everybody wanted to 
hear these two again. The Orator was Ex-Attorney- 
General Orville D. Baker, '68, of Augusta, and the 
Poet, Judge Henry S. Webster, '67, of Gardiner, the 
former conceded to be the most brilliant and eloquent 
public speaker in Maine, and the latter a witty and 
graceful writer. As the subject of his oration Mr. 
Baker took the original motto of the Fraternity and, in 
the masterly fashion of his great legal demonstrations, 
showed the true significance of that motto and its vast 
influence. In conception and execution the oration 
was a gem, and it was received with great enthusiasm. 
Judge Webster's poem, after a humorous introduction, 
closed with the following dedicatory lines : 



KINSHIP WITHIN THE CHAPTER. 95 

"And may these walls, whose builders have so well 
Performed the task entrusted to their hands, 

Be Learning's home and Friendship's citadel, 
Where we, obedient to our heart's commands, 

"May meet as pilgrims at a holy shrine. 

Yet not for penance or for rites austere. 
But in the spirit of that jovial line 

By Chaucer made to all the world so dear. 

"Forever stand, ye walls, and be ye now 

Forever and forever dedicate 
To Wisdom of the clear and lofty brow. 

Prompting her sons to deeds supremely great; 

"To Honor, standing with his spotless shield, 
Warder against the ribald crew of shame ; 

To Truth, whose treasuries alone can yield 
Enduring riches and undying fame ; 

"To Love, white-robed, sincere, immaculate. 
Mother of Graces, Queen of Joy and Song. 

Well may her sacred presence guard our gate 
And keep our bonds forever close and strong." 

As we look over the membership lists of the Chapter 
there is interest in observing to what extent the ele- 
ment of kinship figures ; how many mem- 
KiNSHiP ^^^^ have contributed sons to A K E ; 
WITHIN THE ^^<^w many members have been able to 
CHAPTER, speak of others as brothers by ties of blood 
as well as by the bonds of the Fraternity. 
In the brief biographical sketches later in this volume 
the family relationships within the Fraternity are indi- 
cated as far as they are known to the writer, but it is 



96 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

quite possible that there are other instances not 
recorded there, particularly where fathers have had 
sons in other Chapters of A K E than Theta. As far as 
can be ascertained, thirty-three members of our Chap- 
ter have given sons to the Fraternity. The sons of 
eighteen have been members of Theta Chapter, and the 
sons of fifteen have been members of other Chapters : 
six in Phi at Yale ; four in Alpha at Harvard ; four in 
Sigma at Amiherst; two in Tau at Hamilton; two in 
Theta Zeta at the University of California, and one in 
Xi at Colby. 

Our Chapter has had twenty-nine members who 
were sons of Dekes, twenty-one being the sons of 
members of Theta, and eight the sons of members of 
Xi at Colby. The first son of an active member to be 
initiated into the Chapter was W. E. Hatch, '75, whose 
father was S. W. Hatch, '47. There were, however, 
several sons of honorary members in earlier classes 
than '75. Among the present undergraduate members 
there are six whose fathers were members before them. 
No fewer than one hundred and twenty-two members 
of Theta have had brothers in the Fraternity. The 
most noticeable instances of this degree of kinship are 
in the Pickard, Payson and Baxter families. Of the 
first named there were five brothers who became mem- 
bers of the Fraternity in its earliest years ; the oldest 
was an honorary member of Theta, and the others 
were in Theta, '46, '48, and '57, and in Sigma Chapter 
at Amherst, '58. There were four Payson brothers in 
the delegations of ''jd, '80, '81 and '93 respectively, 
and four Baxter brothers in the delegations of '78, '81,

'94 and '98. The first instance, as far as the writer 
knows, of three generations in A K E, came with 
the initiation of J. B. Drummond and W. B. Drum- 
mond as members of Theta, '07. Their father was a 
member of Xi Chapter, Colby, 'y'j, and their grand- 
father was J. H. Drummond, Xi, '46, the beloved 
founder and patron saint of the Chapter at Colby. Of 
the more remote degrees of kinship, as uncles, nephews 
and cousins, there have been about fifty instances in 
our Chapter, and these are also indicated in the 
biographical sketches. 

In general, the matter of kinship has been an 
important element in the Chapter's prosperity and 
strength, and will doubtless figure even more prom- 
inently in the coming years than it has in the past. It 
is natural and proper that those of the same family 
should be in the same Fraternity, and this rule has very 
generally prevailed at Bowdoin except in a few iso- 
lated instances where circumstances have arisen to 
modify it. 

The story of our Chapter would be incomplete 
indeed if no summary were given of the prizes and 

honors won by its members in scholar- 
5onE OF ship, athletics, and other forms of under-

prayer meeting leaders or all "sports," but one whose 
members are at the front in various lines and who are 
all true gentlemen and good fellows together, with the 
Fraternity ideal and the Fraternity bond never lost 
sight of. Such an all around Fraternity has Theta of 
A K E been during the past sixty years, and such 
it aims to be in the future. 

Tables of figures would be dry things, and there is 
no occasion to make specific comparisons with the 
achievements of other Fraternities, but we cannot 
refrain from giving a few figures taken from the Col- 
lege records, which are open to all, which demonstrate 
that the Chapter motto, ''We Stand Among the First," 
is true not only of Theta's chronological position in our 
Fraternity's history, but also of its position at Bowdoin 
along all lines in which it is honorable to excel ; more- 
over, it is an easy task as well as a pleasant one for the 
historian of the Chapter to show that it has distanced 
all competitors in taking the highest undergraduate 
prizes and honors. And in reading the figures given 
on the following pages it should constantly be borne 
in mind that A K E at Bowdoin has never had fewer 
than three strong rival Fraternities, and that in recent 
years the number has grown to six or seven. 

Taking first the matter of scholarship honors, it may 
safely be asserted that neither for the sixty years as a 
whole nor for any considerable portion of it has Theta 
been outranked by a rival. The encouragement of sound 
scholarship among its members has been an aim always 
kept prominently in view, and the results speak for 
themselves. The founders of the Chapter were men 



SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. 99 

of high rank in scholarship; one of them was elected! 
to Phi Beta Kappa; another won the Junior Decla- 
mation Prize — one of the two or three prizes then 
awarded — and one of the first initiates of the 
young Chapter was later the Salutatorian of the class 
of '46. The sixty years that have followed have been 
worthy of that beginning. With one solitary excep- 
tion, every class which has graduated from Bowdoin 
in all that period has had members of Theta Chapter 
both among its Phi Beta Kappa m.en and among its 
Commencement speakers. Moreover, in twenty-two 
of those classes the man ranking the highest in scholar- 
ship has been a member of our Chapter, and in an even 
larger number of classes the Chapter has furnished the 
men ranking second in the class. No rival Fraternity 
can approach these figures. In one class, — that of 
1870, — ^nine of the twelve men elected to Phi Beta 
Kappa were members of A K E. In another class, 
— that of 1875 — the three highest ranking men, Hall, 
Cressey, and Holmes, were all Dekes and practically 
tied for first place. In several other classes both the 
first and second men have been Dekes, those of 1893 
and 1901 being the most recent cases of this kind. In 
the history of the Chapter a total of one hundred and 
fifty-one of its members have been elected to Phi Beta 
Kappa — a far larger number than any rival Fraternity 
can boast of, and a proportion of our membership 
which speaks most eloquently of the high average of 
scholarship maintained. 

Touching on the individual prizes and awards, it 
may be said that only two of them — the Junior and 



L.ofC. 



lOO THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Sophomore Declamation Prizes — are as old as the 
Fraternity system at Bowdoin. In both of these Theta 
Chapter has beaten all rivals, its members winning 
thirteen firsts and twelve seconds of the former, and 
fifteen firsts and fourteen seconds in the latter. The 
English Composition Prizes were established a few 
years later, and of these our members have won thirty- 
four firsts and twenty-two seconds, again distancing 
the field. Of the more modern prizes, members of 
A K E have won the Sewall Latin Prize twelve 
times ; the Sewall Greek Prize eight times ; the Smyth 
Mathematical Prize eight times ; the First Brown 
Extemporaneous Composition Prize six times, and the 
Second Prize ten times ; the Goodwin Commencement 
Prize, four times, and the Class of '68 Prize, seven 
times. In three of these six prizes all rivals have been 
beaten, and in the other three second place is taken. 

Of the two prominent prizes still later established, 
the Pray English Prize, founded by one of our honor- 
ary members, has been won by Dekes six times out of 
thirteen times awarded ; and the Noyes Political 
Economy Prize has been won by Dekes three times out 
of five times awarded. It is needless to add that all 
rivals have been beaten in these two prizes. Of other 
prizes from time to time awarded in various branches, 
the members of Theta have never failed to win their 
share. Particularly creditable were the successive 
captures of the St. Croix Debate Prize, awarded sev- 
eral times in the 'seventies. The most lucrative prize 
now within reach of Bowdoin men is the Charles 
Carroll Everett Scholarship, established by Charles 



SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. lOI 

Carroll Everett, Theta, '50. This yields about $500 
annually, to be given to the Bowdoin graduate deemed 
best qualified to take a post graduate course in this or 
some other country. It was awarded for the first time 
in 1903, and appropriately enough it was conferred 
upon a member of A K E — A. S. Dyer, '91. 

In the establishment of the various branches of 
athletics as each in turn came to the front at Bowdoin, 
members of Theta Chapter were particularly promi- 
nent, and in each branch have Dekes since been con- 
spicuous leaders. Baseball, the oldest of our college 
sports, has been played at Bowdoin for no fewer than 
twelve seasons, with Dekes as captains of the nine. 
To any man who has followed the history of this game 
at our College, the names of Payson, Jacobs, Wright, 
Dearth, Pushor, Talbot, Hilton, Plaisted, Hinckley, 
Fairbanks, Haines, Bacon, Havey and Cox suggest 
some of its most brilliant stars. 

It was the same in rowing while that continued a 
popular branch of athletics at Bowdoin. On the first 
intercollegiate crew that was sent to the Regatta at 
Springfield, in 1872, two of the six men were Dekes — 
A. G. Ladd, '73, and C. H. Hunter, '74. On the occa- 
sional intercollegiate crews and the many class crews 
of the twenty years that followed, Theta was always 
well represented. W. G. Reed, '82, was captain of the 
crew sent by Bowdoin to the Lake George Regatta, in 
188 1 ; and C. E. Adams, '84, captain and stroke of 
the Bowdoin crew at the Saratoga Regatta, in 1894. 
The captain of the Bowdoin crew at the Lake Quin- 
sigamond Regatta, in 1885, was F. N. Whittier, '85. 



I02 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

This cr€w won the race in the fastest time that had 
ever been made by a four-oared crew, but its record 
was broken by the victorious Bowdoin crew on Lake 
George the following year, of which H. C. Jackson, 
'91, was a member. From first to last Theta always 
had more than its share of the members of the class 
crews, and it is worthy of note that on the last class 
crew to race upon the Androscoggin — that represent- 
ing the class of '97 — three of the four men were 
Dekes — C. S. Sewall, J. M. Shute and H. B. Rhines. 
In the first game of football ever played at Bowdoin 
with an outside eleven — that played with Tufts, Octo- 
ber 12, 1889, four men on the Bowdoin team were 
Dekes. From that time to this on every Bowdoin 
eleven some of the most strenuous gridiron heroes 
have been members of our Chapter ; and five of Bow- 
doin's fifteen football captains have been Dekes — a 
larger number than any rival Fraternity can boast of. 
No Bowdoin man of recent years will forget the work 
done by Cothren, Bartlett, the Hilton brothers and 
Carleton in the early years of the game; or the vic- 
tories won under the leadership of Fairbanks, who was 
more feared by rival colleges than any other man who 
ever wore a Bowdoin sweater; or the playing of 
Dewey, Stubbs, Eastman and Bates in the middle 
'nineties ; or how Veazie, by a run of sixty yards with 
Fairfield interfering, saved the game with the Univer- 
sity of Maine, in 1896, from being a tie ; or how Bacon 
won the game with Bates, in 1899 ; or how Bod well in 
every game that Bowdoin played for four years, 
showed himself the greatest center that ever played in 



SOME OF THE PRIZES AND HONORS. IO3 

Maine; or how Porter scored on Harvard, in 1902, 
after a run of one hundred and five yards ; or how 
opposing Hnes were bucked by Wilson, one of the 
Hghtest and pluckiest fullbacks ever seen on a college 
gridiron. 

In field and track athletics from the time of the field 
days over in Topsham down to the present, no Frater- 
nity at Bowdoin can compare with ours in its long list 
of star athletes. The first team sent to Worcester, 
when Bowdoin became a member of the New England 
Intercollegiate Athletic Association, went there under 
the captaincy of a Deke, Carleton, '93 ; and the first 
team to bring back the championship from Worcester 
was led by a Deke, Godfrey, '99. Theta has also 
furnished another track captain in Nutter, '03, the 
best half mile runner that the State ever knew, giving 
A K E three track captains, a total unequalled by 
any Fraternity. In several of the recent Maine Inter- 
collegiate Field Days when Bowdoin has won the 
championship, half, or nearly half, of its points have 
been won by Dekes; and among the field and track 
athletes of the present time none are better known in 
Maine than Denning, the State champion in the 
weights, and Bates, the State's fastest sprinter. 

The first tennis court at Bowdoin was that con- 
structed by the members of Theta, near South Apple- 
ton, in 1886, and upon it nearly all the tournaments 
have since been played. In these tournaments and in 
the intercollegiate matches the members of Theta have 
always taken a prominent part, and conspicuous among 
the college and State champions whom it has furnished 



104 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

have been Dana, '94, Dana, '01, and Paine, '03. In 
concluding this brief mention of some of the laurels 
won by sons of Theta in athletics, we point to the 
beautiful Whittier Field, named in honor of the man 
who made it a reality — Dr. F. N. Whittier, '85, the 
ever loyal Deke and the man who has done more than 
any other for athletics at Bowdoin. 

Scholarship and athletics are not the only fields in 
which undergraduate honors are won. In college 
journalism at Bowdoin the members of Theta have 
been particularly prominent. Since the Bugle became 
an annual, six numbers have been issued with a mem- 
ber of A K E as editor-in-chief. A much better record 
has been made in the case of the Orient, of which 
thirteen volumes out of thirty-two have been published 
with a member of A K E as editor-in-chief. The 
Quill was founded by Baxter, '98, and in four 
years out of the eight that this literary monthly has 
existed the chairman of its editorial board has been a 
Deke. In the cases of the Orient and Quill no other 
Fraternity approaches the record of ours. The songs 
and the singing of our Fraternity are justly famed, and 
it is fitting that within the past decade four leaders of 
the Bowdoin Glee Club have been members of Theta. 
Perhaps no undergraduate honor at Bowdoin is more 
highly prized than that of being chosen Popular Man 
by the Junior Class and thereby made the recipient of 
the coveted Wooden Spoon on Ivy Day. Since the 
establishment of this custom by the Class of 'y6 the 
honor has fallen twelve times to members of Theta, 



A FEW FIGURES. IO5 

while no other Fraternity has won it more than seven 
times. 

The names on the membership roll of Theta Chapter 
reach a total of 635 ; this includes the 26 honorary 
members and the 39 members of the present 
A FEW active Chapter. Deducting these two classes, 
piauREs. there are 570 active alumni members of the 
Chapter, of whom 407 are living, and 163 
dead. Three of the 26 honorary members are living. 
Among the biographical sketches on the following 
pages the incomplete life records of nine are con- 
cluded with the words, "Cannot be traced." These 
have all been classed as living, although it is highly 
probable that several are dead. No doubt a little 
more time than has been possible in the preparation of 
this volume would clear up most of these cases. The 
number of men in Theta Chapter from the classes of 
1845 to 1907 inclusive has averaged 9.67 from each 
class. The largest delegations were from the classes 
of '54, '57, '82, and '91, each numbering 16 men ; and 
the smallest were from the classes of '45, '83, and '86, 
each of which contained but two men. Among 
Th eta's members have been 18 who came to Bowdoin 
from other colleges where they had been made mem- 
bers of the Fraternity. Of these, 12 have come from 
Xi Chapter at Colby ; three from Gamma Phi at Wes- 
leyan; two from Sigma at Amherst, and one from Pi 
at Dartmouth. On the other hand, 12 men initiated 
into Theta Chapter and leaving Bowdoin before the 
completion of their course, have affiliated with Chap- 
ters of the Fraternity at other colleges. Of these, 



I06 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

six have become members of Pi at Dartmouth; two 
have gone to Sigma at Amherst ; and one each to Phi 
at Yale, Theta Chi at Union, Upsilon at Brown, and 
Epsilon at WilHams. Of the 570 alumni members of 
Theta, 455 received their degrees from Bowdoin ; 24 
left Bowdoin to complete their course in other institu- 
tions; 17 died as undergraduates; 16 left their studies 
to go to the front in the Civil War, and the remainder 
for various reasons failed to complete their college 
work. In the last named class are those compelled to 
leave college on account of ill health or through finan- 
cial reasons ; also the number, probably not too small 
to be noted, who had their difficulties with an obdurate 
Faculty concerning curriculum requirements or dis- 
cipline regulations. Of the 455 to graduate from 
Bowdoin to date, no fewer than 151 — almost exactly 
one-third — have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, a 
proportion which strikingly shows the high scholar- 
ship standard of Theta, even without the long list of 
prizes and honors summarized on earlier pages. 

A word as to the lines of life work chosen by Theta's 
alumni: we find that 155 have become lawyers; 88, 
teachers; ']'j, physicians; 56, merchants or manu- 
facturers; 48, clergymen; 16, bankers, and 13 jour- 
nalists, while 85 have chosen various other professions, 
such as the civil service, service in the army or navy, 
engineering, literature, insurance, railroading, mining, 
farming, etc. The small number not included in any 
of these classifications are those who have died very 
soon after graduation and a few recent graduates who 
are not yet fully determined as to their life work. 



A FEW FIGURES. 10/ 

Among the teachers are included the college professors 
and school superintendents. It needs only a brief 
glance through the following pages to show that in 
every one of these professions Theta has sons who are 
in the front rank, men of national, and in several cases, 
international, fame. 

In the matter of high civil honors it is to be noted 
that Theta has had no fewer than five representatives 
in the United States Senate, and seven in the United 
States House of Representatives. The former are 
Blaine and Hale, honorary members, and Grover, '48, 
Gibson, '51, and Washburn, '54. The latter are 
Benson, Blaine, Gilman and Hale, honorary members, 
and Grover, '48, Washburn, '54, and Alexander, '70. 
Grover was the first member of A K E to become a 
member of Congress. At the present time our Chap- 
ter is represented in the Senate by Hale of Maine and 
Gibson of Montana; and in the House by Alexander 
of New York. Among the sons of Theta have also 
been governors. Federal and State judges, mayors, 
legislators, United States attorneys, and other high 
officials at Washington and in many of the states. 

Considered as to geographical distribution, the 
alumni of Theta are to be found in 43 states, territories 
and foreign countries. Of course, the vast majority 
of them were born in Maine, and this State is now the 
home — or, in the case of those deceased, was the resi- 
dence at time of death — of 242, considerably less than 
one-half. The others are credited as follows : Massa- 
chusetts, 99; New York, 48; New Hampshire, 23; 
Illinois, 19; California, 17; District of Columbia, 14; 



I08 THETA OF DELTA KAPPA EPSILON. 

Minnesota, 12; Pennsylvania, 10; Connecticut, seven; 
Colorado, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin, 
six each ; Louisiana and Montana, five each ; Texas 
and Rhode Island, four each ; Indiana, Nebraska, Ten- 
nessee and Oregon, three each; Iowa, Michigan and 
Kentucky, two each; Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, 
Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, North Caro- 
lina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, 
France, Hawaii, Mexico and Turkey, one each. It is 
probable that this list would be extended if full data 
could be obtained concerning those whom the writer 
lias been unable to trace.
